Beautiful, I'm sure it sounds as good as it looks.

I live in Seattle and get down to Dusty Strings fairly regularly, great folks there, always have wonderful instruments and lots of accessories. I'll go in there to pickup some strings or some other...

Thanks Scott! FYI, I had not gotten to the page where I could upload the photos yet. I was on the "New Mandolin Entry - Ellis" page, had filled out all the fields and then clicked on the “Continue...

I got a reply from Scott R today and he says he will work on getting this fixed so we should be able to add our photos soon.

Oh my, that is so sweet! I want one; wait, I just got one so I better not go insane and order another one.:)

Yep!

Wow, a whole year, I was thinking 6 months. If that is what it takes I'll wait a year. I clipped a Snark tuner to the very tip of the headstock when I received the mandolin to tune it up and after I...

Does anyone know how long I should wait before putting on an armrest and tone-gard? I don't want to impact the finish until I'm certain the finish has hardened.

I received my Ellis A4 Deluxe with the Hummingbird inlay yesterday and it is beautiful, a piece of art really. So well done. These pictures do not do it justice, I am not a...

Well, that only took one day for the Ellis A5 Special to be sold at the Mandolin Store. Those Ellis mandolins do not sit around for very long.

I received my mandolin strap from Mandolin Straps of Montana and it is a beauty. Better than I expected! The quality of the workmanship is the best. The leather and tooling are superb. The strap...

Congrats! Beautiful looking mandolin and case. Enjoy!

It was a great workshop, hope he does another one. There was a lot of material presented in a short amount of time.

Beautiful mandolin and beautiful playing. Congrats on your new baby.

I joined ArtistWorks' Mandolin with Mike Marshall just over two weeks ago and, so far, like it. I've already submitted my "Placement/Introduction" video to Mike and received a response video back...

Wow Tom, #500 is stunning! Thanks for the pics.

Wow, both beautiful mandolins. I could never afford the ELLIS F5 RESERVE HUMMINGBIRD CUSTOM #500 but it is amazing.

I went back and looked and found I had used the "Golden Age Restoration Tuners for A-style Mandolin" for my 1919 Gibson A2. These tuners dropped right in; but, I did have a professional luthier do...

For all of us waiting for our Ellis mandolin, the wait will be well worth it. We will be amply rewarded with a beautiful mandolin built by one of the best teams in the business. Tom, take your time...

I ordered a A4 Deluxe (oval hole, silver hardware, ivoroid binding) #537 last September. It may be a while before I get it given the delays due to the pandemic, ice storm, Christian's leaving, and...
