    Okay man, I heard that F4 in Das Macht Show last year, live and unamplified several times over a couple of days. If these are even half that mandolin, look out!

    Trade you even for an '80s Strat? No? I didn't think so. Oh well, I can dream. Nice work.

    Btw, what sort of money (Canadian) are we talking about here?

    Peace, Mooh.

    $02...Mr.Baird graduates each new set of plates based on a computerized "sonic data base" of his past success. This allows him an excellent level of consistency with his new instruments. i have either owned or listened to 4 of his mandos and the quality/consistency is unbelievable. The fit and finish is spectacular just as it appears. Unfortunately, he is in such demand all the begging in the world won't allow me to become his U.S. distributor....right Gav?

    Mr. Baird,
    These photos look more like museum pieces than instruments for sale. #They are close to the most elegant mandolins I have seen or can imagine.

    I am in awe.

    Sincerely,
    Mike Buesseler

    Absolutely beautiful. Is there any reason you do not do the rosette around the
    sound hole? There just looks like something is missing.
