Thanks Scott for setting this up and thanks in advance to Loar. I realize responding to the announcement of the contest does not qualify as "entering". I also appreciate that posts along the lines, "Hey Scott, enter me", or "Count me in", or "I'm in", etc do not qualify as "entering".

I look forward to October 23rd when the contest commences and I can formally enter
to win the Loar by filling out an online entry form. If memory serves, there were a lot of
questions and confusion about "entering" the last time a give-away was offerred to us.

I hope we can all agree, we'd rather be pickin' than posting about how to enter the contest.

Thanks.

What's up with the Hayward, CA location? That's near my area.

I've played this model, it is amazing all the way around. I'm excited to enter the contest on Oct. 23rd!

What Fun!!!
A giveaway determined by chance that begins on the day that Avogadro's constant is celebrated. Hopefully the chances of one of us winning will not be better than the number.


The Avogadro constant expresses the number of elementary entities per mole of substance and it has the value 6.02214129(27)×1023 mol−1.[2][3][4] Changes in the SI units are proposed that will change the constant to exactly 6.02214X×1023 when it is expressed in the unit mol−1

Previous definitions of chemical quantity involved Avogadro's number, a historical term closely related to the Avogadro constant. Revisions in the base set of units of the International System of Units (SI) necessitated redefinitions of the concepts of chemical quantity. Avogadro's number was defined by Perrin as the number of molecules in one gram-molecule of hydrogen. It was later redefined as the number of atoms in 12g of the isotope carbon-12.[5] Thus, Avogadro's number is a dimensionless quantity and has the numerical value of the Avogadro constant given in base units.

I love my LM 500VS

[Tdq]

Yes please. I'm not a Mando player, but will start once I win!

[bklopfen]

Love my Loar, could sure use another!

Whoah, that's uncanny. I was just about to hit 'enter' when I realised you'd completely pre-empted my thoughts.

After playing one recently at a local shop, I am looking forward to a chance to win this mandolin.

So she'd rather you pay for it than win it?

Those words are english, I recognize em, but assembled in that order they make absolutely no sense to me....

/I think my brain just blew a seal trying to process that, thanks a lot

[Jim Ferguson]

I'll be entering!!!! Thanks a bunch Scott & to The Loar.
I love my LM220-VS & wouldlove to have that LM700-VS to keep it company.

[mandograndad]

I - for sure - am going to enter this contest, 'cause - should I be lucky enough to win - it would solve a huge problem I suddenly found myself with. I only recently purchased a new The Loar LM-700-VS, but I have two sons who are pickers, and was having a hard time deciding who was going to inherit The Loar. Thanks for the opportunity of leaving them one apiece.
