    Default My latest two

    Hi Guys,
    These are the latest two mandolins to go out: an English walnut standard to Portugal and a Cocobolo twin-point to Ireland.

    Quite a contrast in styles but the same love and care!

    Hi Bill,
    Glad you like them: they’ve already gone out so no videos. To be honest, my playing isn’t fit for human consumption and I don’t do my own work justice! Fortunately there are a few Nava players posting themselves playing which, I much prefer.
    Cheers Gary

    I am especially attracted to that two-pointer. Very pleasing design.

    It has that quality of looking like it is supposed to look, if you know what I mean.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    The entire staff
    funny....

    Hey Jeff,
    Thanks for drawing attention.
    That video of Brendan’s has brought in quite a few a commissions; in fact Pat, who commissioned the twin-point in this post, did so after seeing the video. Brendan is lovely guy and in spite of having his mandolin for 5 years now, he is still touch and we always enjoy receiving his latest emails.
    If you have a look at The Dandy Horses YouTube channel you’ll see Sean playing his cocobolo twin-point in a couple of the video (also on their great new CD).


    There’s also Chris who regularly posts; he has a walnut and cedar Standard Plus. Have a look at his channel

    Cheers Gary

    Super work yet again, Gary.
