If you right click, on the red x, save the link to your favorites and then follow that link you can see the picture. #A little involved, but it is a neat assortment of mandolins.

Or even this . .. .

Now the trick is, can you identify al of these beauties?

**delsbrother** · Apr-13-2004, 1:47pm

Whoa, is that an Ibanez with the funky Maccaferri soundhole? That's pretty neat; howzit sound?

**neal** · Apr-13-2004, 5:54pm

Hey, Delsbrother, I think Fatt-dad has one of those for sale.

**levin4now** · Apr-14-2004, 12:14pm

What are those oval hole F-styles?

**Lee** · Apr-15-2004, 2:52pm

Bravo!!
Roll call

**Alekos** · Apr-15-2004, 3:12pm

Hey Lee, that electric one looks like Fender FM52E? Anyway how it sounds??

**Lee** · Apr-15-2004, 3:22pm

Alekos, the bowlback looks very similar to my Blasius.
The two-pointer's an odd color if it's a Gibson.

**mandomick** · Apr-15-2004, 8:39pm

I think the 'burst oval hole F is a Weber Gallatin but I can't ID the black one. Nice assortment.

**mandopete** · Apr-16-2004, 10:02am

It appears that Mando-Sam has left the building

**John Zimm** · Apr-16-2004, 10:31am

I know I can't name but a few of those, but I a sure that is the scene that awaits all good mandolin pickers in Heaven. That's a great photo.

Sorry, the bowlback is very definitely a high-end Washburn by Chicago's Lyon & Healy Co.

Thanks Eugene; I'm kinda disappointed because I've never been able to learn anything about my "Blasius" bowlback; except that they were a Phila importer of European pianos from 1870-1920 or so. Mine's probably been relabeled with the Blasius name.

**Alekos** · Apr-18-2004, 2:59pm

Thanks. Which one is your favorite Lee?

**ira** · Apr-18-2004, 7:21pm

so....what are all of them?

?? names? models? please help the insanely jealous.

**mando-sam** · Apr-19-2004, 1:54pm

Yup sorry bout my leave but ill check on the models for you thanks for your intrest!

**Lee** · Apr-20-2004, 12:07pm

Alekos, from the shape of the scroll and the tailpiece the oval-hole F does appear to be a Weber Gallitin with optional sunburst. Nice, but I suspect all these are flat fretboards <sigh>. The two-pointer has pizazz. It appears Mando-Sam likes his Gibsons; do I detect several?
I guess I'll round up a crop of beauties and see if I can't post a similar photo. Stay tuned...
