Weber Mandolins?
Hello everybody.
Recently (within the last week or so) I've spoken with several very reputable and well-known here on the Cafe mandolin retailers about the current state of pandemic related mandolin availability. Interestingly, I was informed that Weber has virtually stopped making new mandolins to focus more on building guitars, ie; Breedlove etc. It was explained to me that mandolins are far less in demand and far more time consuming to build and, subsequently, are not as profitable to make as the guitars - which seems to make sense.
Naturally I was somewhat taken aback and started wondering, if this was indeed the case, would this be an auspicious time to snag a new Weber in the event they become a thing of the past. Has anyone else heard any rumblings concerning the current state of new Weber mando's? I've got my eye on an A style Yellowstone (2018 model, but new).
Thanks.

Goodnight and Joy be to you all!
