    Hi All,

In the meantime I started a Highland Strings Facebook page so stop in check it out if you have a minute http://www.facebook.com/pages/Highla...98701560175461

    Thanks, Jason

    We had a beautiful, sunny day here today. Hence, I took some photos of The Raven out in the yard.

    I think the coloring is a little more accurate in these photos. Also, the distinctive swoops coming off of the points are much more noticeable.

    I've owned my Highland Strings Orpheus for about four months now and feel compelled to post this short follow-up.
    I continue to be utterly amazed by the overall quality of this instrument.
    After each playing session I find myself thinking..."Wow, not THAT is one fine mandolin!"
    I feel truly privileged to be the caretaker of such an outstanding instrument, and I look forward to the day when my playing skills will do her justice.
    In the meantime, I am certainly having a blast getting to know this magnificent instrument!

    Nine months later and The Raven continues to impress.
    The Engelmann over Cherry provides a dark, woody and remarkably unique tone.
    The responsiveness and playability of this mandolin never cease to amaze me.
    What a Cannon and MAS killer this beauty is!
