    Re: New to me JL Smith 5 string

    What a trip! We were just in Duluth for the first time for a wedding last month. Nice place.

    Re: Check out this old bandolim

    My Portuguese is not great, but I think the label indicates that it was from an instrument shop in Funchal, on the island of Madeira. The street address is Rua dos Tanoeiros #38.
