    Default Poe mandolin question.

    What can you tell me about Andy Poe Mandolins?
    Is Poe still making mandolins?

    Here's one that's currently on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mandolin/32...YAAOSwVD9gKowT
    It looks tempting.
    I used to own a Poe F-4 copy that was first rate in build quality and details. Here's a photo of it alongside a Collings.

    When I saw Mandolin Orange in North NJ 5-6 years ago, Andrew Marlin was playing a Poe. It should be in some of their earlier videos. WAY nice, in my humble opinion!

    I know Andy Poe started out under the name of Driftwood Mandolins. I've seen a few of them. They look beautiful!

    I have Poe #71....you can see it on his website Poestrings....it is a fabulous mandolin that just gets better with age. Andy lives about 2 hours away and I purchased a 2 pt that he had for sale and mentioned I would like a build. At time, he was just doing for maybe Carmel Music, but he emailed me maybe 6 months later and a little less than year later, Willy the Poe boy was mine. His wife works for same company as I do, so if interested I can see if he is still taking orders.

    Andy is a pretty meticulous builder. I don’t think anyone in the business makes a better Army-Navy pancake.
