Here's some more oddities...
2015 Chevy Silverado
2 bottles of Knob Creek bourbon
1953 modified Kay string bass named "Bambi"
Another oddity from the house of Calace (last posting) is this "turnover" instrument -- half mandolin. half ukulele. I actually owned one of these long ago. Had no sound tho.

Some time ago on this message board there was posted a pic of the Paul Stanley tripple neck f-style. Does anyone have those pics still available...that was indeed an oddity
Yup
I don't think Paul Stanley has a tripleneck F ...
You might be thinking of John Paul Jones, in which case you can find the photo at emando.com.

That's it....sorry...rock&roll hasn't always been my first pick. I think that that one fits the category
Yup
This one was at Elderly a few months ago.

Hey, somebody on the MC classifieds was looking for one of those..
Did somebody say banjo killer?
attack of the MandoBass!!! Ah!!!
Here's another odd one described as far as I can determine as a balalaika-like mandolin. This off a Czech web site that a few photos of my mandolins have been pictured somehow.

Weird!!
We haven't had any oddities in a few days. here is another one that was on eBay sometime last year. The amazing part is that there is a contoured case that came with this one.

Whoa, check out the multicolored string silencers! Beats ol' grommets any day.
Stranky o Mandolinach!

Wow -- any Wallace & Gromit fans here? That last mandolin looks almost exactly like Wallace's head.

And it has Grommits!
She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.
Here is an interestingly-shaped mandolin by a maker named Delucia from the Top Shelf Music web site.

Yeah, love the soundholes in the side!
Not a mando as such, but not far from being the weirdest thing I've seen:
There are more photos of the beast available on the site.

That thing looks like a cross between a StairMaster and a cranial support apparatus.
Mutant_Dan- I looked at your café profile. Any chance the homebrew came first, the barbecue dobro right after?
That is great stuff, you made my day

Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
Favorite Mandolin of the week: 2013 Collings MF Gloss top.
I am a little reluctant to say it and reveal myself as a human oddity, but this looks like a pretty standard hurdy-gurdy to me.Originally Posted by (grandmainger @ Aug. 27 2004, 05:19)
Eugene took the words right out of my mouth.

Mmmhh... Ze poor little french boy doesn't know what hurdy-gurdy is. Can you explain ?
