Design A Weber Instrument Giveaway

[John Bertotti]

Great top color!

[pickloser]

What a beauty! Weber is one class act. I'd be flipping it over and looking at that back between every tune. Congratulations, and I wish you many years of happy playing, you lucky dog.

[John Kinn]

Lucky you! Love that one piece back...what specs?

[Mary Weber]

We are very glad you like it! Last time I saw it was in buffing and really couldn't tell what the back looked like- I think you picked the right one seeing your pictures. Our photographer got some pictures also, and I'll post them tomorrow. Keep us updated, Paul- and the Nymph is on the way.

[Jim MacDaniel]

Very nice choices on instrument, finish, and binding - that is absolutely gorgeous.

[Jim Ferguson]

Mouth watering for sure!!!! Congrats Paul.
Peace,

[Ed Goist]

Thanks for the specs Paul. Very interesting.
The fretboard must have the standard Weber 10" radius, right?
I think Weber's neck set-up (neck shape & thickness, 1 1/8" nut width, 10" radius board & 80X40 frets) makes for fantastic playability!
Enjoy it!

I would need a shirt made out of case fur so it never gets damaged. Probably be warm too.

[Kate D.]

wow. What a beautiful instrument that is. A little jewelbox of a mandolin.

[Scott Tichenor]

Ditto. That's a gorgeous instrument. Love the color. And that one-piece back!

[Mary Weber]

Ditto. That's a gorgeous instrument. Love the color. And that one-piece back!

Thanks, Scott- and thanks for sponsoring this. You guys are the best!

[Ed Goist]

On top of the stunning appearance, I'm sure it sounds heavenly and offers exemplary playability.
In my opinion, the Weber set-up of large frets, friendly nut width and neck profile, and that wonderful 10" radius on the boards, makes for glorious playability.
Wonderful instruments in every way!

[Irénée]

I Should like a 10 string mandolin CC-GG-DD-AA-EE with extended 29 frets onte AA & EE, A or F style (preferred A style) with Mapple back and side
Best Regards...
Best continuation in your beautiful and high quality production
