Those who go onto any of the mandolin message boards will have heard of the sad demise of Rigel. They have been inspirational innovators for the last ten years or so and made some truly spectacular sounding and looking mandolins. Pete (Langdel, Rigels creative genius and luthier) and Peter (Mix, one of the most knowledgeable mandolin experts around) were two of the nicest guys in the business, Rigels customer service was a legendary as were their mandolins, they will be sorely missed. I expect both will re-emerge in some form in the wonderful world of mandolins.. watch this space.
We've got a Gibson 1922 snakehead and a 1916 A on their way. We now have all Furch and Eastman models on stock plus used bargains from Bean Blossom and Michael Kelly. I've also added a few more cases to the website.
