Name That Collings Mandolin and Win It!

[drjuliushibbert]

My choice of name: (Its a secret)..........

and by the way "Barlon Mando" - best name in this forum or best name in this forum?

Outstanding.

The Collings Mochrie! After Collin Mochrie that comedian from "Whose Line is it Anyway?" If that doesn't win this contest is rigged!

I call it Dragon tooth. Beautiful flame finish and that sharp fingerboard edge turn it into a beast. The pieces on the tailpiece also look like teeth.

What does MT mean anyway? I have one and should know.



I'd call it Patina because I love the color.

[Jim Garber]

I put in a stupid name, but I never win anyway. Nice to be in the game anyway and thanks to Scott and the sponsors for making it all possible. Best of luck to the winners.

I know a wonderful player who plays a Monteleone. I used to covet his mandolin. I bought myself a Collings MTO. I no longer have a reason to covet his Monteleone.

I would like to submit the name "Voyager", in recognition of the fact that the music of Bach is featured on the "Voyager Golden Record" that accompanies the Voyager spacecraft which recently became the first man-made object to leave the Solar System.

The Bach pieces are:

- Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F. First Movement, Munich Bach Orchestra, Karl Richter, conductor.
- "Gavotte en rondeaux" from the Partita No. 3 in E major for Violin, performed by Arthur Grumiaux.
- The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2, Prelude and Fugue in C, No.1. Glenn Gould, piano.

Just another reminder that you have to enter to be in the contest.

[TheBlindBard]

-- at what time this Sunday will they be deciding the winners, or will they decide them at a later date?

[Jim]

My expectation is that it will take a while to go through over 3000 names and supporting text. I doubt they will know on Sunday. Though my choice is so good and well defended the judges may read no further after reading mine (LOL)

[bratsche]

I wonder if the judges have been "peeking" at any of the entries yet, or if they're saving it until after the official closing...
Of course, if they saw mine, I'm sure it set the bar really, really high!

I hate high bars. I have to sit on taller stools to reach my drink.

Just use a ledger line.
