    My friends in Montana gifted me with a new treasure last night at a jam around my campfire. My friend had his father-in-law build me a beautiful flat top. I posted a pic at the top of the group!

    The tag inside reads “Crafted by Lavern Kinyon for Don McBride July 2022”. Priceless!

    I'm sure it's a good one Don. But I can't see it! This isn't supposed to happen to me - I even checked the page source script and they ain't nothing in your post but text.

    Or is it all you guys messing with my head?

    OOOOPS! Now I see it. it's in the gallery!

    This is really rough since I just started learning it last week but you can hear the new mando. It sounded tubby when I tuned it up for the first time Saturday but it’s already starting to open up and sounds better every time I play it.

    It's a beautiful, curly, birdseye maple. Gorgeous wood, beautiful mandolin, and Don ... you are blessed to have such a gift
