I am very shortly to become the owner of an Old Wave A style OM. I live near Pemberton, NJ and would be interested in the aforementioned soiree.

**Keith Erickson** · Mar-26-2009, 9:20am

Oh why.....oh why didn't I get into the mandolin family of instruments and stumble upon the Mandolin Café before I decided to leave NJ for good 14 years ago???

Would have, could have, should have............hind sight is always 20/20.

<<take a deep breath and sigh>>

Ok, I won't rain on anyone's parade. It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun

**Avi Ziv** · Mar-26-2009, 12:18pm

tstackhouse - you should definitely come

Keith - what can I say?... cheap air fare?.... cross country trip a-la Zen And the Art of Bouzouki Setup?

**otterly2k** · Mar-26-2009, 1:38pm

Keith-
The easy solution, of course, is to organize your OWN CBOM-o-RAMA. I'll take credit for the oh-so-clever and sporty NAME, but it is not rocket science or luthier science even. You just need a place, a date, and a few folks with instruments to show up. Invite everyone to bring a dish to share (or pass a hat and order pizza) and VOILA! CBOM-o-RAMA!

An easy recipe. Anyone can do it!

Karen is franchising

"CBOM-o-RAMA! Coming to a house near you"

**Eddie Sheehy** · Mar-26-2009, 2:00pm

Hmmmmmmmmmm! I think I'll start with a mando pickin party and just happen to have a few OM's there... This Sunday, my house, 3:00 pm.

**JEStanek** · Mar-26-2009, 3:31pm

Update: Outside of the cafe, I have some interest from people with a Foley, Trillium, and Fylde too !

**citeog** · Mar-26-2009, 4:01pm

hey Avi,

To reiterate what I said in our e-mail exchange, I'll be glad to attend and bring along the super-sized Foley. I'm also trying to convince Rich to pull out his Trillium OM and accompany me.

All the best,

Paul

**Avi Ziv** · Mar-26-2009, 4:09pm

Paul - I think people will be very interested to see and hear your Foley

Thanks for your support

**Eddie Sheehy** · Mar-26-2009, 5:21pm

A left-handed Foley?

**citeog** · Mar-31-2009, 4:43pm

Yes, Eddie, a left-handed big-bodied yoke with a 26.5 inch scale length.

**Eddie Sheehy** · Mar-31-2009, 5:28pm

Athnionn citeog, citeog eile...

Actually I'm right-handed, but I did play a big yoke of a Foley at my CBOM-o-rama. I'm trying to get pix of it... a right monster.

**alanz** · Mar-31-2009, 9:12pm

I'll be building an Octave in Don Kawalek's workshop next week.... so I'd like to attend this gathering. I'm in northern NJ, so it's not much of a trek for me.

**otterly2k** · Mar-31-2009, 9:54pm

cool, alan!
We can a/b it with the one I built in a similar workshop a few years ago. new design and all...

**Eddie Sheehy** · Apr-02-2009, 6:54pm

Since the NJ-CBOM-o-rama isn't happening until the Fall, I'll just pencil it in on my calendar.... ya never know....

**steve V. johnson** · Apr-02-2009, 7:41pm

Hi Avi-
If you are still accepting guests, I'd like to join you and bring my black TC zouk. Thanks for the thoughtfulness.
Big Dog

**Avi Ziv** · May-17-2009, 8:28pm

Big Dog - of course you are welcome. Sorry for being scares lately. I'm in the process of moving house. I'll be over the hump in a few weeks and we can discuss this much more. This thing will definitely happen!

**Keith Erickson** · May-18-2009, 9:51am

I'm sorry is this has already been asked....when is this in the fall?

Thanks,

**Avi Ziv** · May-18-2009, 10:37am

Keith - I have to work this into my schedule but I'm looking at the last weekend of Sept or early Oct. I'll be back with a definitive answer in the next couple of weeks. I have various constraints to work around.

**Chuck Ficca** · May-20-2009, 8:48pm

I'm down the shore in W Long Branch, and have a Freshwater cittern, a Kalamazoo mandola, and am negotiating for a Weber mandocello. If CBOM-o- rama is any weekend but the first weekend of Oct, when I'll be kayaking Delmarva, I'd like to participate.

**Avi Ziv** · Jun-05-2009, 10:21am

Ok folks - we can now set the date for the NJ cbom-o-rama to be Saturday, October 3rd .

It took some time for me work around various personal constraints but I think this is good. I already know it may cause a conflict for some of you but I hope this is sufficient notice to try and work around some of your constraints as well.

Remember:

There will be a variety of cbom instruments to try out - the more you bring, the better it will be of course. There will be food and drink and good camaraderie and an opportunity to meet people in person whom we only know in a virtual way.

Again - the location is my home in Hopewell , NJ - a bit northwest of Princeton.
