    Default I don't know what to sell this for!? Custom Two Point Mandolin.

    Two Point Orpheus Mandolin 'THE RAVEN' #047

    Made by Jason Harshbarger in 2011 of Highland Strings (now Harshbarger Strings)

    I am having trouble finding any of Jason's instruments for sale online to compare to or determine the current value.

    I purchased The Raven from Ed Goist in the Mandolin Cafe Classifieds in 2013.
    I believe it was custom built for him.

    Due to broken fingers and arthritis I can no longer play and this beauty deserves to be played!

    This is a fantastic mandolin. The best I've ever played.

    See what you did? You lured Ed out of self-imposed semi-retirement from the forum, thus breaking his perfect 6000 posts total.

    That is one gorgeous mandolin! If you've kept it in fine condition, I'd say add 20% to what you paid for it and let folks try to talk you down. But I may not be the best source of advice on the matter. I've never been able to part with a mandolin.
