Gorgeous mandolin there! Congratulations on your find.
thats a cool looking TC mando. couple years ago when i was first starting with mandolin i found a story about Turkey Creek and Brad Van Loenen. I can't remember the article contents but it was packed full of pictures and people who played the TC brand. That sent me on a journey to find one but i never did. I'm sure i put a post here asking questions about TC, but i'd have to look deep to find it.
Is he still building?

I have no idea if he's building mandolins or not. His website isn't very updated, no social media, etc. This mandolin is basically right on par for everything I have read about TC mandolins. Perhaps not the cleanest build ever but it sounds amazing and is very easy to play. And for the price paid, I am happy I have a mando from a boutique, local builder. I just threw some new strings on her last night and it sounds even better.
I found it on consignment at Olde Town Pickn' Parlor. Drove up, played it for a half hour, and pulled the trigger.

Cool mandolin! Kit and the guys at OTPP are always great to deal with. Congratulations.
Thanks! My wife noticed this before I did but if you check out the headstock inlay there is an ohm symbol in it.
