Creativity is just doing something wierd and finding out others like it.
What a beauty! Weber is one class act. I'd be flipping it over and looking at that back between every tune. Congratulations, and I wish you many years of happy playing, you lucky dog.
Lucky you! Love that one piece back...what specs?
We are very glad you like it! Last time I saw it was in buffing and really couldn't tell what the back looked like- I think you picked the right one seeing your pictures. Our photographer got some pictures also, and I'll post them tomorrow. Keep us updated, Paul- and the Nymph is on the way.
Very nice choices on instrument, finish, and binding - that is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the specs Paul. Very interesting.
The fretboard must have the standard Weber 10" radius, right?
I think Weber's neck set-up (neck shape & thickness, 1 1/8" nut width, 10" radius board & 80X40 frets) makes for fantastic playability!
Enjoy it!

I would need a shirt made out of case fur so it never gets damaged. Probably be warm too.
Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
Favorite Mandolin of the week: 2013 Collings MF Gloss top.
wow. What a beautiful instrument that is. A little jewelbox of a mandolin.

these are the good old days.
Ditto. That's a gorgeous instrument. Love the color. And that one-piece back!
On top of the stunning appearance, I'm sure it sounds heavenly and offers exemplary playability.
In my opinion, the Weber set-up of large frets, friendly nut width and neck profile, and that wonderful 10" radius on the boards, makes for glorious playability.
Wonderful instruments in every way!
