    Jamie....just now noticed this thread. I would be interested in knowing more about the two that you pictured. I must have missed the story on those. Very unique and beautiful.

    The Monteleone mambolino is definitely a Supermodel mando. Monteleone's floating tailpieces look amazing.

    I am always blown away by the sculptural quality of Monteleone's instruments. That is beautiful. What exactly is a mambolino?

    I'm not sure why they call it the mambolino. I would assume it is a regular mandolin--I guess "mambolino" is just what he called the design.

    The "Giacomel for $1100" thread reminded me about the J3, the non-scroll Giacomel, which is a striking design as well:

    mambolino -- come on guys. have you ever heard Carl Carlton's "Mama Jama"? What would you call a jumbo mama mandolin(o)? Mambolino! Sexy to the point of over-the-top, and mandolin(o)ish. If this isn't the meaning of the name, then it's a good enough approximation for me. "Mamajama" shows up in the closing credits (I think) "Miss Congeniality 2" and there are examples on youtube, if you're interested.
    You live and you learn (if you're awake)
    ... but some folks get by just making stuff up.

    I think the "C#" asymmetrical two-point shape is great looking (though I don't have one). I've seen beautiful examples on the Cafe by Nugget and Old Wave. Sorry, I don't do pics.
