Thank you MC, you are my favorite website. Thank you for all the free and vital info. Thank you for taking the time to create this wonderful resource. I've learned so much here about mandolins. I'm a left handed player who knows how difficult it can be to locate left handed instruments to try out. I never even saw a lefty mando until I bought one online. I have since progressed to owning a few left handed instruments and have even have a couple of custom builds. If you live in the SF bay area and play lefty and want to do some mandolin tasting maybe we should get together. It would be nice if you had some left handed stuff that I could try but if you are just starting and want to see what the left handed mandolin world is all about send me a message. I really can't say it enough, thanks again to the Cafe for expanding my mandolin experience.
