Taking a moment away from playing this beauty (while I sit on mute on a work teleconference call) to post.
Andy has truly outdone himself with this one.
Birdseye Maple neck, back and sides that...

Super pumped about this and what the future holds for these fellas...hoping we get a nice New England run!
Keep saving, its well worth it! As someone who has played most of the mandolins to come off of Andy's bench, they are well worth the price for a beautiful, US made, handcrafted instrument from a...
Andy sent me over a good morning Mule earlier. Neck is taking shape!

Ahhh, I remember seeing your H-12 in his shop. He has built me a beautiful "slightly smaller" dread style as well (photos below) and the walnut back in the thread above is the guitar bodied octave...
Well, Mr. Muleskinner moves quick and just sent me an update. He milled down that board and was able to get a back, sides and neck for my instrument and another back and sides set for another...
So, I've been bit by the bug again, been too long without an A-style mandolin and Andy at Muleskinner Instruments will be building me a new A5. We met over the weekend at his shop and selected...
Been trying to write some melodies and fiddle tunes for an upcoming project and messing around on my Muleskinner Instruments octave mandolin. I sent a voice memo recording of this tune to a friend...
A quick take on "Coming Down from Green Mountain" off of the new self titled Watchhouse (fmr. Mandolin Orange) album just released yesterday. Played on my Muleskinner Instruments guitar bodied octave...
Oh wow. Those HM series look a lot like the Waterloo by Collings flat tops. Beautiful!
I have been neglecting this beautiful instrument for far too long. A guitar bodied octave mandolin built for me by my friend Andy Mueller of Muleskinner Instruments here in central Vermont...but I...
Agreed!!! Glad someone started this here.
My larger band collectively owns and uses a Bose L1 Model 1S with the B2 Bass module. I primarily play upright bass and sing harmonies with that band...
Played a socially distanced gig over the weekend at a friend's local farm. Felt good to be in front of folks and out in the Vermont air.

Hey folks, I've perused older threads and I can't for the life of me find and up to date supplier for electric mandolin necks. People have tossed out Moongazer and a few others, but none seem to...
I am the proud owner of the GBOM Andy built with the Walnut back. The first night I owned it, the thing pulled 2 new original instrumentals right out of me (working on getting a video example of them...
If you are willing to look at a lesser known builder who is doing great things with A5s, check out Andy Mueller of Muleskinner Instruments (http://muleskinnerinstruments.com/) in central Vermont.

Thats great news Bill! Happy pickin'!
Hey Bill,
I too was very intrigued by Roy's builds a few months ago...but per the wife's rules, one in means one out! So I have been trying to sell one of my acoustic guitars for a few weeks.

Sorry guys...had to share another one!
This one happened completely spontaneously after filming with Eli and John. The Lonesome Ace fellas were hanging around the Tiny Cabin that these sessions...
Wanted to share this little gem filmed with John Reischman and Eli West at this past August's GMBR in Manchester, Vermont.
John's playing seems to effortless and smooth. Getting to be up close...
Hey all, posting because I just bought some tickets for this great raffle for a Muleskinner oval hole, birch mandolin. I have been lucky to be local to the area and played this and a bunch of Andy...
