JazzMando What's New - We're proud to bring you some exclusive pics of the happenings on the workbench of Idaho builder, and perennial JazzMando fave, Austin Clark. The world class luthier (and designer of the famous Clark JM mandolin) is full-throttle in gear preparing for this February's Wintergrass Festival in Tacoma, Washington, February 19-22, 2009. He and his magic elves are preparing for a massive "Shock and Awe" exhibit, including this dandy Dola prototype, a Two-point oval.

Also from the drawing board to the saw, a prototype Guitar-body Octave Mandolin.



We are looking into flight schedules, and hope to send a research team ourselves for the Winter festival. Join us?
