Tiny had more instruments than he played out with. He had at least two of the Roberts 5-strings, since one is at Skip's in Sacramento and another is in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
When last seen, somebody was asking $6–8K for this with neck problems. Glad to read that the neck has been straightened out.

Neat. I think that might have been built when I was at the school in Phoenix. Bob's original pickups with wood covers, and his sunbursts were something to see. He was a character, that's for sure...

There was a discussion of this mandolin back in 2019: Bob Venn Tiny Moore 5 String Electric Mandolin
Looks like in 2019 the price went down a bit and now it is back to exorbitant. Waiting around another few years for it to sit on a wall at $15K.
