Name That Collings Mandolin and Win It!

[bratsche]

The trouble is, how do I know if what I think is my best idea is the same idea that the judges would think was my best idea?

(What a curse it is to have such a fertile imagination as mine...)

Because of the musical content of the album I would name the instrument Chris' Cannon.

[mrmando]

Not sure...

However, I do know that the Collings MT2 was the primary mandolin played on every track of the now famous "All-Star Mandolin Tribute to Lady Gaga" release.

OK, fine, as long as I don't have to look at Frank Wakefield in a meat dress.

[OldSausage]

How about "Hollow and MT".

[Gorilla]

Honeydew -- Sweet like honey and shaped like a drop of dew in the mountain grass -- corny, I know, but this thing is truly beautiful!!

[missmadeleine]

Ooooh, would it be bad to say that I want it?

I have an idea, but I don't know whether or not it's original or is a good idea.

Question: When looking for our reasoning in naming it, do you mean like an essay? A thesis statement? A kindergarten crayon masterpiece? Really, what if I wanted to create a graphic image to illustrate my reasoning behind the name? Is it just whatever?

Also, do you have to be a certain age?

[Hoovetone]

Sept. 3rd is when to name it. Ya'll just keep the ideas coming.

[mandodanny]

i would call it "MIRAGE TREASURE"

[recordslut]

I will call this mandolin "The Marriage Saver." Reason: If I had to explain to my wife that I just purchased ANOTHER mandolin, I'm pretty certain the conversation would end with divorce papers. So, having this one show up at my doorstep would not only allow me to have a fine MT2, but would help my marriage remain intact as well.

[Suburbia56]

The nitro-ondack special!

[Leon Peoples]

I would call that Collings "Melody"
Best/joe

[JimRym]

It should be named...The Henway! When asked, "What's a Henway"?, the answer, of course is, "Two pounds". And by an amazing coincidence, that is roughly what the mandolin weighs!!! Pretty incredible, huh?

[Patrick Sylvest]

What happens on September 3rd that differs from what's occurring on this thread now?

[Massimo]

I think that the beast name for this mandolin is " Lacrima" that in italian means "Tear of Joy"!

[Michael Bridges]

On Sept 3rd, your name ideas COUNT! LOL Up till then, folks are just giving away ideas for free.

[PianoMan]

Well, given the CD it celebrates, and what the cover design first made me think of, I dub thee...The Bachnado!

[TroubledOne]

My recent trip to Great Smokie Mountain National Park gave me this Idea, "Abrams Creek".

Well, they always say, "You get what you pay for!"

[terzinator]

Amanda Lynn

Shoulda probably saved that one.

[Michael Bridges]

I want this thing BAD! I have a sure-fire winner of a name in mind. I'll probably only change it 6 or 7 times before the 3rd.

[55bar]

I'd call it "The Rhino horn"

Since it will be given away free of charge it could be considered:

a weapon of M.A.S "distraction" Which Collings usually "charge a lot" for leaving my pocket feeling less MT2.

I really want a new mandolin!

[Scottydawg]

I hereby name this Collings ...
"PHIL"

[Andyesquire]

wait... when can we win it??
