I'm 26 and have been playing guitar my whole life. I'm studying
music more seriously now than I have in the recent past so the
guitar is coming in handy. There is something special about this
guitar and I am grateful to be able to play it. I think it will
help me get back to my acoustic roots. I'll take good care of it.

OM Cypress
with cut-a-way
I just wanted to express my thanks in creating
such a glorious instrument.
This OM guitar is my first 'real' guitar, as I have been playing
on a little Applause for a long time. It is absolutely exquisite
and I feel totally humbled when playing it. I know already it will
bring me thousands of hours (and many years) of joy and inspiration. I
have shown it to a few friends who play and everyone is just blown
away. I just hope I can do the instrument justice!!! Amoris

F style Octave
Mandolin Maple Archtop with
scroll. Sunburst stain, ebony head stock with inlay.
This instrument is tuned one octave lower
than a standard mandolin.
This
is a beautiful instrument! The craftsmanship is equal to or  exceeds
that of my Weber mandolin, and I think he is about the best in
the business! It also is VERY
easy for a mandolin player to play because of the 19.5 in. scale
and the very slender neck. I dont know of anybody in the buisness
that makes a slender neck like that on an Octave  mandolin! And
it sounds wonderful, most octaves sound muddled and and confused
down low, but yours projects well and is crisp and clear! Dave

A style Archtop Mandolin Maple/spruce,
f sound holes, Macasser Ebony peghead.
I am very pleased with this beautiful mandolin, actually that
is putting it mildly, I "LOVE"!!!! this mandolin. It
chimes like little silver bells in a cathedral, or crystal bangles
in a soft breeze. Though I am a novice player, everything I attempt
to play is cleaner. The
intonation is perfect, the tuning stays true for hours, the radiused
and wider fretboard fits my style, the natural beauty of the medially
lines in the top right behind the bridge where they come to a crown
and around the edge where they swirl into each other is always
a pleasure to look at, the flame of the maple is exquisite, the
stain and slight burst is so comforting and humble, the abalone
dots complement the theme of this instrument perfectly, the purling
is simple and honest, the peg head veneer is waves of all the colors
on the rest of the instrument, I have looked at it very closely
and I am SOOOOO! glad you chose to keep the macasar with the separation,
it increases my affection for the concept of a one and only unique
to me handmade instrument immensely.
Regret not contacting you sooner, these are busy times and any
spare minute, I find myself playing your piece of art. I think
about it through my day and it makes me quite happy. Fred

"This mando got 4 thumbs up from Tom Bekeny,
mandolin player for the Kathy Kallick band. Tom Rozum (Laurie
Lewis band) wanted a chance to play it, too, but he was swamped
with work. Tom isn't easily impressed, and all he could say
were really great things about it. So, thanks again for the mandolin,
it's found a good home."

Just thought I'd let you know that the octave mandolin I got
from you twenty years ago is still the pick of the litter. I'm
in the mandola section of the Classical Mandolin Society En Masse
Orchestra. It's a pick up band with about 120 members. As it
happens, I'm exactly in the center of the front row. Which is
surprising as I had choosen to play in the mandola section so
I be low profile. Thought you might be interested in hearing
from one of your instruments. Take care,
