Girouard Concert Master F Oval Hole
For months I was cogitating, scratching my head, about a new mandolin. I emailed some great builders who showed remarkable patience with me but I finally decided on a Girouard Concert Master F oval hole mandolin after talking with Max and a couple members on the Mandolin Cafe who currently have either an A or F Girouard mandolin.
First I want to say Max and Lauri Girouard are really nice folks and great people to work with! Always willing to take time out of their busy day to answer all your questions and make the process easy.
At one time I had a 1924 Gibson F2 mandolin in excellent condition and got stupid and sold it to a Mandolin Cafe member. After selling it I realize how much I missed that old 1924 Gibson F2 but its water over the dam now, its long gone! So that’s my reason for selecting to go with a Girouard Concert Master F oval hole to replace that old Gibson F2 oval hole mandolin.
