very classy Scotti....looks like it will be a good one already!!
I see what you mean about his current work being better than the beginning just in this example. Are you keeping your current Rose after obtaining this one?

..Im not retaining it but a close friend of mine is..If my finances look good Im going to commission an A model from Darby as well....Wayne..Im very confident that this mando will turn alot of heads...I cant wait...Rick..the Rose at Buffalo Bros is a very early one...according to Darby..hes says it really sounds good. As with all builders,,they only get better with each one they crank out...to say they arent happy with their first few wouldnt be lying. I hope to get more pics as she progresses so I can share with you.
Scotti,
#has darby made any A models? #i haven't seen any A pics here on the cafe.

mandolin no ka 'oi
...I think he has..Im not 100% certain tho....he said he would make one if somebody wanted one...Im sure he wouldnt mind talking to you about one #Rosemando@wmconnect.com # give him a shout..he also said that he has seven orders going right now.
..Just found out that Darby has made 2 A models...but he hasnt got any pics of them...maybe the owners are out there lurking....Originally Posted by (WireBoy @ Mar. 12 2005, 16:59)
binding
Rose mandos and the tone they produce
looks great!!!
Holy Smokes..Im sittin here a work and almost fell out of my chair..this is the first time Ive seen it bound...great job Darby..looks like you have been a very busy man....the color in that fern can really been seen in that pic.
Looking good.
Gonna go blonde to show off that nice back?
..nope..she'll be stained and varnished..
Scotti,
Jake here, hope you or Darby post some pics of the rest of that mando soon. Peghead is killin' me. I think I had the same reaction as you after looking at the first few without binding and then seeing the bound photo. I'd like to see her finished like the most recent Ferns have been doing (color). What ARE the plans?

Looks sweet
Sorry..But I had to turn it upright...Jake my plan is to have a dark Cremona burst...Im partial to a darker mando. As far as pics goes...Im at the mercy of Darby...lol
Cool, Scotti. You're not getting too antsy yet, are ya?
Fred
..now Fred..what do you think?
Yup. Wish Bill C. woulda sent me pictures of the progress on my new mando!
Fred
..yea..its sorta like those pics you get with an ultra-sound isnt it?...lol
Talked to Darby tonight....seems like hes going to be a very busy man..a very prominent picker has just ordered 3 more mandos from him and he has several orders on the to do list..including a couple of A models...mine has to go back on the back burner so he can get a couple others built...I just love a tease dont you..
Darby brought one of his mandos to Cabin Fever in Hampton VA a couple of weeks ago. He strummed the open strings and the mandolin I was holding vibrated like a chair massager. Loud. And sweet.

Can you clarify that please? #It sounds like that he skipping people on his waiting list for a "prominent" name.
<Insert witty saying here>
Tim..this is not the case at all...hes got a couple on the bench now that needs to get finished...then mine and another which arent due til May...then the others I spoke of. I apologize if I didnt make myself clear.
Ive had quite a few emails wondering about what kind of abalone that is in this fern...because it is so vibrant and colorful....well I have learned that it is solid Paua shell which is extremely rare...aint no wonder.
Welcome to the Rose family Scotti. I own Rose #10 and oddly... BRW #44. Seems we have similar interests.
