Here is the Scoteleone that Keith Murchison built. #I am playing this beauty while he finishes up an F-5 for me and it's first show will get to be at the Ryman this weekend. #If anyone wants a Moneteleone style mando without paying $28,000.00 I would suggest you contact Keith about this thing because it is MUCH less and sounds great! #The color reminds me of the old 80's Flatiron F-5's.
If F-model mandolins have F-holes then why don't A-model mandolins have A-holes???
Here's another. #Be patient, I have a few more to go!

The three piece back which is very well done and cool!

Last one for now. I am going to play it some more!

who you playing with at the Ryman Jeremy?
A praise and worship group called The Selah Project. #Ray Hughes is the head of it if you know him. #He has some great teachings on Davidic worship and just music in general. #I won't turn this into a Christian discussion though! #To each their own! #Anyways, they are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the restoration of the Ryman and asked us to come. #It will be more of the acoustic thing but the normal band is very contemporary, hence the need for a pickup! #See ya Mav.

That looks really great. I love the three piece back. Good luck playing at the Ryman. I bet King David would have loved to jam there.

I wonder if ol' King David would have put a tone-gard on his lyre.Originally Posted by (Buckley @ May 27 2004, 13:47)

Thanks Jeremy I really appreciate the compliment. Now that my shop is back up and running we are well on the way. Be looking for the Scot mandolin at a festival near you.
No problem Keith, just stating the obvious on your mandos! Anybody that hasn't played one of Keith's mandolins needs to. He has got the tone down and the workmanship! I am quite impressed and he is also the greatest guy anyone could work with. I am looking forward to the new F-5 Keith!

I am just curious... why did he make it with a 3-piece back instead of a 2- or 1-piece? Was there a particular reason?

I am not sure, you would have to ask him. It is cool and it does not affect the sound at all!

It is more of an aesthetic question. Martin made the D35s back in the 1960s with a three-piece back because Brazilian rosewood was becoming scarce. My 2 cents: I would have preferred a one piece, nicely flamed back.
It is a beautiful piece of work tho.

Jeremy, Do you suppose David was a picker, or merely a strummer?!
I would venture to guess that he was more of a strummer but who knows, maybe he had a mandolin tucked away somewhere!

I am guessing David was a picker. They say he was very skilled at playing the lyre. I'm guessing he was also a virzi man.
