I am open for business! Still being careful wearing a mask. You should too! Give me a call if you need any work done. 845-332-8073I am open for business! Still being careful wearing a mask. You should too! Give me a call if you need any work done. 845-332-8073

Well Folks, Looks like I’m going to have to close up my shop for the winter. Until I can figure out some kind of protocol for checking out instruments. Any thoughts? See you in the spring! I hope! Stay well! Wear a mask! Wash your hands!

Here is the mahogany with Adirondack Red spruce top. Thank you Julian!

Here’s the Rosewood with Sitka Top. It has the biggest open tone of all three.

All done but the final polishing! I had to string them up to hear what they all sound like! I hate to wait!

I’m making two more Octave Mandolins because everyone who played the first one wants to have one! Here are some photos of the process:

I built this octave mandolin and I have been giving it to friends and family to check out. Julian Berman wrote this very cool tune on it!
