The Beartooth is sadly a discontinued model, this beauty is a fine example. Brekke bridge, hand carved solid spruce top, gold hardware and spectacular flamed maple back and sides. It has the classic oval hole sound, a strum on the two finger D chord and you can feel the air move, the mids are sweet and the top end clear and ringing. With original hard case.

A beautiful Weber Bridger in spruce and flamed maple, upgraded with sunburst and gloss finish. Bruces describes the Bridger as 'a great cross-over instrument for Bluegrass and Celtic music', it has the wonderful - adjustable under tension - Brekke bridge and a 28 mm nut width. It's in excellent condition and sounds very woody with solid warm basses, sweet mids and sparkling trebles. With hard case.

Some would think that a mandolin is small enough already to travel with but this little beauty in its gigbag is almost pocket sized, it would easily fit in an overnight bag and go overhead on a flight. Why be without a mandolin? The tone is pretty good for such a small soundbox, in fact as good as some full size mandolins on the market at this price!

A beautiful celtic/folk mandola from Bruce Weber, solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides, 17" scale. It has bucket loads of that amazing deep dola tone, sounds like it's much more than a fifth below a mandolin. Comes with hardshell case.

Twenty three and a half inch scale octave mandolin with one and three eights inch nut width in solid spruce and solid maple with ebony fretboard and compensated bridge, solid cast tailpiece and custom hard case. This is a fantastic sounding octave mandolin, non of that wishy/washy break up when played hard, unlike many an octave. The bass is strong and well defined, mids warm and rich, trebles clear, if only all octave mandolins sounded this good...

This is where professional quality mandolins start, it is amazing value for money. This beautiful Hyalite oval hole mandolin has a hand carved solid spruce top (voiced by Bruce himself) and hand carved sold mahogany back and sides. It has an ebony bound radiussed fretboard and the amazing ebony Brekke bridge (height adjustable while under tension), one and one eighth nut width, adjustable truss rod and matte finish. It is warm and deep at the low end with great balance and projection from the rich mids with clear, sweet highs. It's not ideal for Bluegrass but otherwise a great all-rounder, folk, old time and many other playing styles. Comes with hardshell case.

It's hard to get a good sounding mandocello without spending a whole load of cash! Here is the answer, it may look a little plain but you won't get more low C for this much anywhere else. Deep 'n low is the cello sound and Tamarack #1 has it in bucket loads. It has a twenty four and three quarters inch scale, one and nine sixteenths inch nut width, solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides, ebony fretboard and compensated saddle, a solid cast tailpiece and a custom hard case.

With no bindings and a faded leather satin finish this Gallatin A looks great. It is an example of a mandolin where every penny has gone into the sound. With a solid hand carved spruce top, solid hand carved maple back and sides, solid cast tailpiece and Brekke bridge it's the least expensive US of A made A style mandolin around. The basic spec of course does not affect the sound, it has a classic A4 sound, solid, well defined bass with warm and rich mids and crisp ringing trebles. With hard case.

Beautiful octave mandolin from the Weber team. In the amazing honey/tortoise finish with ebony radiussed fretboard, ebony trad Brekke bridge, it has a 22" scale and 1 15/32" nut width. It's a dream to play with incredible deep and warm basses, rich and sweet mids and clear/well defined trebles. With hard case.

I first played a Gallatin in the States in the mid nineteen nineties and remember it still. This is an example of where every cent has gone into the sound. With no bindings, faded leather finish and satin varnish it looks great. With a solid hand carved spruce top, solid hand carved maple back and sides, solid cast tailpiece and Brekke bridge it's the least expensive US of A made F5 around. The basic spec of course does not affect the sound, this is a bluegrass cannon, bark and bite a plenty, volume to challenge those b*njos but with enough complexity to make a great all-rounder. With custom hardshell case.

Weber's latest A model in the latest finish. Absolutely gorgeous A Yellowstone in gloss honey finish with tortoise top back and fretboard bindings, Brekke traditional bridge, Grover tuners, radiussed Ebony fretboard and mother of pearl logo and knot inlay. It has rich and resonant basses with great sustain, warm complex mids and clear ringing trebles. With hard case.

A beautiful Yellowstone A5 in the traditional dark red sunburst finish. It features a solid spruce top, gorgeous flamed maple back and sides, tone bar bracing, ebony radiussed fretboard and the amazing ebony Brekke bridge (height adjustable while under tension), bound top, back, fretboard and headstock. It has a one and one eighth nut width, dual action adjustable truss rod and gloss finish. Some f hole mandolins have a rich and resonant mid range without losing cut and projection (some put it down to the tone bar bracing but I've heard plenty of tone bar braced mandolins without it), this is such a beast. This is a fantastic Bluegrass mandolin (if the Bluegrass police don't catch you without the scroll...) but also great for any other style of playing. With hardshell case.

Another gorgeous Bitterroot F5 with solid spruce top, solid flamed maple back and sides, all hand carved in Montana US of A and tone bar braced with a matte finish. It features a radiussed and bound ebony fretboard, Grover tuners, solid/cast tailpiece and the amazing ebony Brekke bridge that enables action adjustments while under full string tension! It has a very open sound, deep and warm basses, rich, vibrant mids and sweet, clean trebles. Great chop and cut for bluegrass with depth and resonance for other styles. With Weber hardshell case.

Lots of upgrades on this stunning Bitterroot F5, back binding, gloss finish and Bret's amazing Bengal tiger colouring, WOW! This is a really punchy bluegrass monster, chop chords rattle the windows (as they've knocked down those frying pan players on the way). On top o' the chop it has a deep, woody bass and sweet, rich mids, great for 'grassers and the versatility for many other styles too. With hardshell case.

Bluegrass heaven!!! Bruce's Yellowstone in spruce and beautiful flamed maple with tone bar bracing. It's got bark and chop, it's a hoss, b*njos beware. Weber tone bar braced F5's are very highly regarded in the US of A by the bluegrass folk, this one is a very fine example. As well as the superlatives already deployed it has plenty of volume a powerful mid range and good sustain giving versatility for those playing a variety of styles. It comes with Weber's superb hardshell case.

The Weber Custom Vintage series have been creating quite a stir, made with the recently acquired stock of 50 - 100 year old woods, this F4 harks back to the famous F4s of the nineteen-ninteens. I upgraded to extra flamed maple to add to Bruce's usual incredible fit and finish on this beauty. It has the characteristic deep growl of a teens F4 but with more volume, projection and definition than most. The basses are dark and woody, mids are vibrant and full and the trebles have sweetness and clarity. With hardshell case.

This is our second Weber Elite, it is just as amazing as the first. Engelmann Spruce top, one piece spectacularly flamed maple back and sides, abbreviated fingerboard extension, tortoise/white/black body, fretboard and headstock binding, bound F holes, gold hardware. It is one of the most amazing looking and sounding mandolins I've ever seen or heard. Hand rubbed true spirit varnish with custom faded tobacco sunburst finish by Brett Byers. The Elite series has been lauded by people with many decades in the mandolin world more than myself as the equal of any contemporary mandolin made by the so called big five (Gilchrist, Nugget, Monteleone, Dudenbostel and Heiden). It resonates as you handle it without playing a note, always a good sign. It responds equally well to the lightest touch or the thickest pick of the loudest player, it chops and barks and sings sweetly when asked. It has incredible power with a remarkable depth and a very rich tone. It has that low end 'woof' of the very best f hole mandolins. Playability and response are amazing, it's as loud as any mandolin I've ever heard but often this is at the expense of subtlety and richness of tone, this is one of those very rare mandolins that has it all! With custom rectangular case.

A superlative F5 in sound and looks from Bruce Weber. I described the Summit F200S as 'having it all' as a bluegrass mandolin so how do they compare? I'd say that if you were going for out and out b*njo killing and playing fast and hard most of the time the Summit has it, this Weber has more in the way of rich tone and subtlety. Lovely dark bass and warm middles with clear trebles but still plenty of cut. But then again different people hear it differently, come and have a listen for yourself.
