That is a neat little banjolin!
I trust that it will bring you a great deal of joy!

You are not the only one...I LOVE my Washburn

I look forward to hearing a nice sound sample from this one!

Congrats. It is beautiful.

WOW indeed

Congrats to the buyer. A bargain both times.

Really cool. Now time for sound samples

I love the idea that every component of an instrument could potentially be an artistic element

If she plays nearly as good as she looks, it is very reasonably priced.

Most makers would charge well over double for something like that even with a more standard carved back.

I would sell my...

That is glorious.

That is fantastic!
Those old F2/F4's are beautiful

Thanks Jeff.
The grain matches up inside and out.

No problem Mick. It is really nice rosewood and produces such a lovely tone.
It is hard to imagine that rosewood would be used for anything other than tone wood.

Thanks for the clarification Allen.

This one first caught my eye because of the two-point design.
Before this I had only noodled around on a Kentucky F-style mando I bought for my daughter a few years back.
While a playable...

Again, I love the look, the sound, and play-ability of this thing!

What is the value of such an instrument?

As for the date, I gather that it could have been made anytime between 1917-1922, correct?

Being relatively new to mandolins I feel very fortunate to have stumbled across this one.
It really has inspired me to learn to play.
The recording was done on my phone, so the sound quality is...

Alright Bill.

Be gentle

I suppose this is the original carrying case that came with the mando.
It is canvas trimmed with leather and in very poor condition.
The case must have done its job well as the instrument...

I would hate for the MAS to pass because of my failure to post a sound sample.
Figuring it out will be a priority this weekend.

Thank you Bill.

I am sure it could be versatile.
It would not fit well in Bluegrass.
This one does not have the volume or cut for that style.

Any tips on how to best post a sound sample?

Love that rosewood

Thank you for the information Allen.

I am amazed at how quickly I have bonded with this thing.

I have a couple of guitars and more banjos than I care to admit, but I have never been smitten by...

I recently acquired a Washburn Model 1915. I have had a hard time putting down...it plays so nicely and has such a pleasing voice.
