    Very pretty - lovely work. Do you have a listing on the Café in the Builders section, or a website with more photos for us to enjoy?

    Very nice, as always. It seems to me your instruments are always unusually elegant.

    Thanks,

    Magnus

    Tres bien, Jean!
    I absolutely love your designs for the tailpiece and the peghead.
    Elegant indeed!

    Great design. That is the way I want my mandolin to look but with black headstock, pickguard & tailpiece.
