    thank you.
    Here is a link to the list.

    Wow - I guess right now the MM's, DMM's, & Scaggs DMM's combined are rarer than Loars! Who knows what will happen to the mandolin department in the future. They may never exceed the number of Loars made - at least in thier present form.

    Hi Charles,

    my DMM, D-70321, signed by Danny on Oct. 03, 2005, is side bound and has old style flower pot. Shouldn't that be on the list? I wonder how many MMs are side bound.

    Oops, the D-70321 was signed on Oct. 11th, rather than the 3rd. My mistake.

    Here are some photos of V-73732. This is signed by Charlie Derrington and was modeled off the Loar he owned at the time (73732). It is signed October 18, 2000. Although the serial number is higher than many, it appears to be the prototype. The very first Loar made was 70281. The first production run of Derrington MM's appears to have started with that number. I will let those with a little more insight as to which one came first weigh in on the subject.

    This mandolin was owned and played by Charlie and was subsequently sold to a friend who is the current happy owner

    Thanks for that Darryl. I have a date of 10-29-1999 for V70281 and another Proto from 99. It is possible that it was labeled later. I know for a fact that Charlies first personal DMM was labeless even to this day so it is possible that v73732 was one of the first MM and then labeled later. It looks like the sunburst is more Loar acurate compared to the others from the early years of the MM project.
    here is a link to my most updated MM serial number list

    I have a one of a kind MM. It is amberburst - a custom finish. It's slightly lighter and just a little redder than the traditional Loar finish. It was acquired by me through the Mandolin Store. No one better to deal with than Dennis Vance and the folks at the Mandolin Store. It is #70463 signed by David Harvey on March 3, 2010. It is a great mandolin. Loud and balanced. All the overtones seem to ring in harmony.

    Other than the color, are all of the other features standard MM features. Like Red spruce hide glue and varnish finish?
    Do you mind if I add it to the registry.

    Please feel free to add it to the registry. Note that all other features are standard MM features, red spruce, varnish, hide glue, old fashioned case. Color/shading is the only difference. I do like this coloring a lot.

    This mandolin is well worth what it cost. Probably all MM's are.
