I had a beer with Mr. Heiden at Wintergrass and got to play this Heritage and new F Artist he had with him. Both were incredible, but this Heritage nearly knocked my hat into Puget Sound. One of the best mandolins I've ever played
Huba huba. Love the dark stain.
VERY classy mandolin! I'd love to hear a good recording of it. Varnish finish?
Thanks! Yes it is a varnish finish. Michael switched to only using varnish a number of years ago.Quote:

You could check if you could correctly identify a Heiden vs. a Lloyd Loar. I got it right but both instruments sounded incredibly close and very fine.
My only beef is the optics of the fretboard extension and the color sheme - and thatīs absolutely a mere matter of personal taste -.
This instrument here shows a beautiful wood selection and the beautiful "wheat" headstock inlay pattern. Play it in good health.
That mandolin looks like it could keep you off the streets and out of trouble for a long time. Please give us a review and an audio file. Simply gorgeous!
Wow...congrats!!
Beautiful
Congratulations on getting a beautiful Heiden Heritage mandolin!! I'm sure it sounds just as good as it looks and I love that dark stain that Michael puts on his mandolins!! Also, my favorite headstock inlay pattern that Michael puts on his mandolins is the "Wheat" inlay.
Enjoy.......
Hahaha...this made me laugh more than it likely should have. :DQuote:

Wow ! What a beauty ! Congrats !
I'd love to have one of these !
Right now I'm waiting for my Ellis F5 Special Deluxe. Should be finished in spring next year.
That’s not what my wife would say. It about put me out in the street and in lots of trouble! :)Quote:
