Hi all,
I'm super excited by the mandolin I just received from Oliver Apitius. It's his Yorkville model. In my opinion, there is no mandolin that's better suited to Jazz. For anyone interested, there's a thread about the mando with video clips in the GENERAL MANDOLIN DISCUSSION FORUM.

Aaron: I think this mandolin compliments your bowties better than the Red Diamond! In all seriousness; a spiffy looking and great sounding mandolin, played by a master.
