I think it was a custom build.

Great tenor and a great tune Jill! I'll have to steal it and rename it "chicken in the kitchen". ;)

While going down the rabbit hole of double necked mandolin-guitars in the Emando forum started by Jim Hillburn, I came across this video by B-compact about their acoustic, double necked,...

This one?....

Looks nice, enjoy!

JB, so you found a new baby.......




Play her in good health! :cool:

I wonder if persimmon would be a good choice too. It is the "white Ebony" after all and should be available.

You might want to consider Apollo picks as well.....https://www.apollopicks.com/

I like them better than my BC, have both the casein and peek styles.

Aaron, I hope you don't mind me posting this from Oliver's web site.....

Oops, I did not see Sherry's previous post.

Looks like John Bernunzio got at least 100 of them...

+1 for the Gibson snakehead mandolin. Nice slim necks and wonderful oval hole tone.

It was the one a Ms Polly Huff posted pic's of in this thread in October 2020...

Just wondering what...

If you are not set on building an F-5, I would also recommend Graham McDonalds book "The Mandolin Project"...

This morning I saw a 1890's Martin "harp"mandolin in the classifieds and now it is gone.

Did some one here grab it?

Let us know how you like it when you get it! :)

I scooped up that Northfield. It was just so dang pretty.[/QUOTE]

What one did you get? The one from Northfield?

There is one in the classifieds at the moment....

And as far as bang for the buck goes this Econo A from Silverangel is really hard to beat for a...

Sorry, did not mean to hijack the thread! Just buy an Eastman 315 and enjoy the start of the journey.

Looks like a one piece back to me. Lucky you!

Here is one I made awhile back.....

Sounds great, I still have it.

Joshua Bell played a corner less Stradivarius violin early in his career.

Sue, maybe your next batch of "pillow catnip bags" can be Vulcan harps. ;)

BTW love the L&H style ones in the classifieds at the moment!

JB I am surprised that you are not hip to Tim O'Brian! He was a founding member of Hot Rise and famously played (and still does) a black faced Nugget A-5 mandolin. He was a standout in the bluegrass...

Don't rule out old National tenors either.

Quite a number of orchestra players seem to favor the Lyon and Healy mandolins from the 20's.
