Hi everyone Well its the month of June already What better time to introduce a new batch of beautiful handcrafted and great sounding and playing JUNE mandolins This is the first one of this batch that is available for purchase There may be four available in total just not sure yet if i want to part with #100 which i built for myself We will see I will be posting the other two for sure over the next couple days The other A5 is the same as this A5 with the exception of the coloring is a shade lighter and it has black/white/black binding on the top and on the peghead There is also a very traditional paralell braced F5 in the batch
Soundwise woody very strong and well balanced Being heard and cutting through the mix will not be problem with any of the mandolins in this batch I have been using this combination of woods and bracing for many years and have pretty much been able to dial in the sound I judge a mandolin by the strength and clarity of the E and A strings going up the neck The G and D must be strong in the beginning but from my experience they do tend to get deeper over time The E and A has to be there right from the start
The weight and balance of the mandolin is also very important
The weight because in my opinion lighter instruments are more responsive and resonant i know there are exceptions i have built a few
I strive for right around two pounds or just a couple ounces over depending on hardware
The balance of a mandolin is also important so it rests and hangs on the strap comfortably when being played
My mandolins arrive set up with the action just under 2/32 at 12 on the G and D and just over 1/32 on the E and A
Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this A5 or any others in the batch.
If you read this and want to see the others in the batch and more pics of #98 please visit my June mandolins and guitars page on FACEBOOK or you can contact me then text me you phone number and i can text you the pics or take any other detailed pics you may want
Thanks very much for looking

Great mandolin! Comes with a hardshell case. A demo video and pictures are available on our website.

A beautiful looking and sounding Rigel mandolin in bright red gloss for your picking and strumming pleasure. She has a nice open tone, action is low, very playable. It's not the loudest Rigel but has a nice balanced sound, good for strumming chords. This instrument was made by Pete Langdell in Jeffersonville, VT in 1998 when Rigels were taking off. This Rigel A+ 0 is a good beginner or intermediate level instrument, good for jamming. Has a built-in piezo pickup designed by Pete for clear tone (best with an external acoustic preamp).

Selling because I am a hard-choppin' bluegrass player whose style isn't suite to A model soundhole mandos. Better for old-time, folk and Irish.

There are a couple finish scratches around the soundhole/base of the neck which are indicated in the photos. Comes with a nice padded case. To be shipping wrapped in bubble wrap in a large box from Georgia for the set shipping of $50 or local pickup near Roswell, GA. I accept all the usual digital payment services. This beauty won't disappoint.

I would also consider a trade for a mid-level mandolin (Eastman or comparable brands) with F holes, F-style preferred but open to suggestions.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Important: Only shipping in the domestic US. This item is being sold "As is". No returns or exchanges.

Here's an incredibly clean and original "trap-door" Gibson tenor banjo from the company's early pre-Mastertone days. The only part missing is the tailpiece cover, and perhaps the biggest surprise is the original tall bridge with heart-shaped cutout between the legs as those bridges are fragile and rarely survive. There are some shallow scratches to the finish on the back of the resonator, but the neck's finish is almost pristine. The neck is straight and frets show only minimal wear. Thanks to the short 19 inch string scale, these early Gibson tenors are easy to play and can be adapted to a variety of tunings, plus the trap-door feature actually works and gives you an easy and almost instant way to modify the tone. Best of all, this example is just so dang cute!

This Dobson Professional is a new model from Pisgah and it has a 12-inch head and a short, 25.5"scale length. The banjo has a slotted headstock fitted with Gotoh tuning machines and it has a decorative laminated fretboard that accentuates the elegant curve of the S-scoop. This model has a maple shell fitted with a brass Dobson tone ring, a setup that produces a bit more punch and power than an all-wood rim that you’ll find on their Woodchucks and Possums. This banjo has a maple neck and shell and aged brass hardware. Includes a heavy duty, padded Pisgah gig bag.

This Rickard banjo is fitted with a Vega-style Tubaphone tone ring, a classic style that dates to the early part of the 20th century. The Tubaphone tone ring, so named because it is a cast, hollow tube, produces a clear, ringing tone with lots of projection. This banjo has a shorter string scale (25.5", same as a modern guitar) which makes for an easier-playing banjo with less fret stretch. We ordered this banjo with a 12-inch head, which, when combined with the shorter scale, which mellows the tone a bit, but still produces admirable pop and projection.

Gibson Style A Model Carved Top Mandolin (1922), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serial # 67097, Sheraton brown top, dark stained back and sides finish, birch body, spruce top, mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, black tolex hard shell case.

This is a very fine just 100+ year old example of the "early Loar era" Gibson Style A Mandolin, still in excellent original condition a century on. This one was made in mid/late 1921, and shipped out early in 1922. The typical period features include the dark but very thin "Sheraton Brown" varnish finish top, a raised celluloid pickguard and the standard Gibson-engraved tailpiece. The most interesting piece of hardware is the very first version of Gibson's new adjustable bridge with the short-lived aluminum saddle. The top is spruce with a lovely straight even grain, the back and sides birch and the neck Honduras mahogany with a heavy ebony fingerboard.

The Style A was the company's base-line carved-top mandolin, still with all the sound quality of "the Gibson" (as it was advertised at the time) without much in the way of decoration beyond a bound top and 3-ply soundhole ring. The "browntop" mandolins of the late 'teens and early 1920's may not be the prettiest of the old "paddlehead" Gibsons but they are often the best sounding. This one is an excellent centennial survivor, a very playable mandolin with a very low, comfortable action and powerful, ringing tone with more sustain than most, likely courtesy of the solid aluminum saddle. It remains 100 years on an enduring testament to the exceptional work of the original Kalamazoo, Michigan Gibson factory.

Overall length is 26 1/2 in. (67.3 cm.), 10 1/16 in. (25.6 cm.) wide, and 1 7/8 in. (4.8 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 14 in. (356 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3/16 in. (30 mm.).

This mandolin shows some general wear and finish checking (it is 100 years old, after all!) but remains clean for its age, all original and an excellent players instrument. The finish has a some dents, dings and scratches mostly to the top, where there are some scars around the bridge base where it looks like perhaps it was once stored with the bridge laying flat. There are no areas of loss down to the wood except spots on either side of the nut on the back of the neck.

All the seams are solid and there are no cracks or repairs visible. The original thin varnish has not been overfinished and all hardware remain original and complete including the tuners, tailpiece with engraved cover, the oft-missing elevated pickguard and that rare first-generation adjustable bridge. The original frets have some minor wear but are still quite playable and this is a very nice playing and sounding mandolin, a lovely centennial survivor. Overall Excellent Condition.

Lively Mandolin Tunes is a collection of 38 lively, up-tempo tunes arranged by Tommy Norris for mandolin. The collection includes fiddle tunes, reels, hornpipes, jigs, sea chanteys, bluegrass and old-time melodies--an ideal collection for adding to repertoire, improving picking technique or just having fun playing the mandolin. Backup chords and tablature are included. These tunes are also great for jamming and for playing in bluegrass or old-time bands. Includes access to online audio.

I have a very old Banjo-Mandolin that i believe came from Austria or Switzerland - a gift from someone who brought it back from there in the 1950's. I'd like to sell it and would like some advice on the value, and maybe get in touch with someone who may be interested in purchasing. It is in very good condition and I have lots of pictures I can send via email. Hope someone will contact me.

I can't even describe how thrilled I am with these books!!! They are wonderful. You can hear a few samples at

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=284537

If you play the mandolin, this is a must have book/cd collection. These medieval pieces sound great on the mandolin. They also lay right under the fingers. There is both notation and TAB and no page turns for any of the pieces in this book. The reason? This book is made for musicians, by musicians. The book comes with a CD and the guitar and mandolin are separate tracks. You can turn the mandolin totally off and play with the cd. There are no "Tick Tick" before the pieces, instead there are two measures of intro with the guitar, so you can sit and listen to the CD and become familiar with the sounds of the pieces without it sounding like a learning CD. There are chords with the music and at the end of the book, there are examples of what the guitar is doing for many of the tunes in both tablature and notation. These tunes sound terrific, and are a great addition to any repertoire. You can use them for any kind of gig, or you can try doing some medieval fairs, medieval feasts or medieval weddings. The bowl back mandolin looks so much like the lute, most people would never know the difference. I play lute, guitar and more recently mandolin. I know the music. These pieces are particulary suited for the sound of the mandolin. I love playing them. The book is beautiful and scored professionally. The paper is heavy stock. The titles may not make a lot of sense, but these are great pieces. Many have variations to make them longer. Winder wie ist is an example of a piece with a variation added. You can hear Winder wie ist at Besonic. This one is mixed together so you can't hear the tracks separately, but on the CD, you can use the balance control to hear either the left or right channel only. Book/CD is only $17.95 plus actual shipping charges which are usually about $2.49

On December 31, 1989 the legendary virtuoso of acoustic guitar, Tony Rice, played two inspired sets with his band at the Birchmere, one of the country’s premiere intimate music venues. His band, the Tony Rice Unit, included his younger brother, Wyatt Rice on guitar, mandolinist and vocalist extraordinaire Jimmy Gaudreau on mandolin, fiddler Rickie Simpkins, bassist Mark Schatz and a special guest - bluegrass banjo master Bill Emerson who joined the group for seven tunes. The stellar music that night was recorded by the celebrated sound engineer, Bill Wolf.

Both shows are included here in their entirety, featuring Tony and his group playing and singing many of the classic tunes that he made his own. As Tony himself declared at the end of the show, “Thank you all for a beautiful New Year’s Eve!”
