The F style strap has that woody, throaty, dry bluegrass tone.
Quite unsuitable for an 'A' style mandolin.:mandosmiley:

Some years ago I saw a Punch Bros. show in London. In between two numbers an audience member
shouted out to Paul (bass player) "Spin the bass !" The whole band looked bemused and Chris (mandolin...

A lode of Nuggets ?

Thanks Trevor, superb images as usual.
This is one seriously lovely looking mandolin.

Thanks Alex,
Some lovely contours carved in that back.
Could you let me know what make of instrument it is ?

Demetrius, you will find many beautiful examples above. Enjoy.

I began a thread a while back called "beautiful one piece backs" and a lot
of these sunset lookalike backs were posted. Sorry I'm not "tech" enough to
include the link. Perhaps you can unearth it. ...

The objective case ain't no part of nuthin'.

I really liked the tone the Weins delivered but I understand why it had to go.
The Gilchrist sounds great. My old headmaster used to say,
"Good things come to he who waits . . . long enough"

Hi Charlieshafer,
Some serious battle scars on that mandolin.
It's hard to read the script on the tailpiece cover, is it "Andersen" ?

Yes Mark . . . Zeidler.

The most beautifully evolved F5 design I've ever seen.
I hope that sight of this doesn't prompt Demetrius to do anything rash !


Images are reproduced...

Glad to see you found the one.
It was a fun ride. Well done !
Enjoy the potatoes out of it ! (Thanks JeffD)

Chap says it isn't a Collings.

While we await the big reveal
. . . A mandolin favourite.

I'm not sure about that neck profile.

I guess your silence on the "Monte" is telling.:popcorn:

Who ever loved that loved not at first sight ?

You'll know it when you find the one.
Does the Monteleone not appeal ?

Good one Mr. Seale.

Demetrius, I don't recall you talking about these in your mandolin history.
You clearly love some of the more flamboyant designs so . . . ~o)
I've always found these a treat...

It was aggravating an injury. No choice.

Those documentaries come to mind, where the person is addicted to art
or music (or architecture or luthiery or gymnastics or whatever) and everyone
else can't see what the person involved is...

Let the day traders talk . . . They also say that dead cats bounce.

Let music sound while he doth make his choice . . .

The search continues !

In the video clips you guys really make the Wiens sound good; I'm not surprised
that you are thinking of holding on to it. Good for you! I hope you find the inspiration
in it which you are...

Nicely summed up.
But don't just enjoy it. Enjoy the potatoes out of it.

Not to mention . . . Martin, Kentucky.
