I think it was Gary. But you got a pretty nice piece too.

I thought that I should have recorded something with it before I sent it. But I didn't. Hopefully the new owner could post something.

[Eric Hanson]

RATS!!
Its going to take me at least an hour to sop up all the drool that just got all over my keyboard.
That is a remarkable mandolin indeed. I am not a sucker for a blacktop. But that one creates a new leaning.

[Eddie Sheehy]

So what does it sound like...? Although I have heard a Mike Black mandolin and it sounded great...

[Mike Black]

Here is a video I did while it was in the white. Gives you a little idea what it sounds like.

[Ron McMillan]

Just wonderful.

[GKWilson]

I did get exactly what I wanted Mike.
And I'm as happy as a clam at high tide.
But when you sent my 'in the white' video you didn't put on a tie.
Gary
Oh Yeah. #14 sounds nice.

That's my fish tie at that!

This Mandolin arrived here in Sacramento this morning. Let's just say that I forgot to eat lunch and failed to notice that my kids were home after school for a half hour.

The Mando is awesome. It has a Virzi on it, which sounds incredible. I am in love with it. MAS slaked.

[John Soper]

I think somebody already mentioned drool - DROOLWORTHY!

[Clement Barrera-Ng]

Another great one Mike. The back on that is simply stunning. I love how strong and punchy it sounds. Really looking forward to working with you next year.

[Ivan Kelsall]

Quite stunning !!.The rosette looks especially nice in the way that it contrasts with the black top.That'll make a few eyes pop for sure,

[Tavy]

Absolutely stunning. Nothing else to say!

[Nick Gellie]

Beautiful work Mike. Great combinations of colours. Well done!

[billhay4]

I like the way it came out, too.

Very special...tradition gone wild. That's a lot of bells and whistles!

[Mike Snyder]

WHERE does he find the time?

[Don Grieser]

That's an amazing mandolin in every way!!! And a great tune choice to show it off--that Norman Blake tune doesn't get played enough.

[Gregory Tidwell]

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I described what I wanted to Mike.

[Skip Kelley]

Mike, that is awesome!
