Does anyone know if The Hogan mandolins by Adrian Minarovic are available to be ordered? Any website or online info? Many thanks! Aaron

Noob question: I see the profile page you linked but under “contact” it just links to that page. Am I missing somewhere to message other cafe members?

Adrian Minarovic is a teacher by profession and a musician/luthier by vocation. His output of instruments is extremely limited. If I am not mistaken there are about 25 or so around. From time to time you may see one appear. If you are fortunate enough you end up being able to play one. I was able to compare a HoGo F-5 to my expensive mandolin. I am very impressed by Adrian´s work. If you are able to get one you´ll get a high end quality instrument without the recognition and therefore with a much smaller price tag.

If you go on his forum member page, you will be able to send him a personal message (PM). He will be able to see it, when he logs in. If he doesn´t log in the message will stay unread for the time being.

Look for “Send Private Message” on the left side.

Thanks all. I’ll look to PM him. Didn’t see that on mobile but will log onto desktop version.

Not that I'm aware of.

That’s good to know. I know I tried it a couple times in the past but if it doesn’t work it’s a waste of time to try!
