The Heiden F Artist in the classifieds

[amowry]

Yep, Max and Laurie know their stuff. No disagreement there!

Not to hijack the thread but Andrew, the A model of yours in the classifieds at the moment (mando Mutt) is spactacular. Talk about fit and finish, your head stock design is one of best I have seen.

I got to play a Heiden at a festival a number of years ago and it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. A truly amazing mandolin.

I agree with Charles the Mowry MandoMutt has listed is a beautiful mandolin.

You couldn’t touch my A5 for $8k. I just regret not buying a buddy’s F5 when I had the chance. Michael is at the top of the mandolin game along with Gilchrist, Nugget, and Monteleone.

Should have had Dudenbostel on this list too. I felt like I was missing somebody but clearly "sometimers" is kicking in.....

Dude and Ellis !

I love Ellis mandolins. Tom makes a very fine instrument. But they’re not selling for $20k. And they’re also built by a team of people, a very skilled team of people. The others on my list are all one man shops. Certainly part of the mystique that drives the price.
