For Christmas I got Tom's 10 string mandola-mandolin hybrid. My digital camera isn't working so I haven't posted any pics or songs with it yet. Love the tone on it. I added JJB pickups to it and it has become my main player now. Anything new from you guys? I think we're the smallest social group here.
So I finally uploaded a video of the mandola-lin, see this thread.
I wish more people knew about TeeJay's instruments. One of his octave mandolins has been hanging at Groth Music for a couple of years, and no one seems to know about it. It has a redwood top like mine, but the tone is quite different.
