Three more in from David Webber. Jumbo, Southern Jumbo and OMs in quilted maple and cedar/walnut. All under £2000!!! I don’t quite know how David does it but they are incredible value.

A new A5 has just arrived form my old desert dwelling friend Mr. William J. Bussmann, also known as Old Wave mandolins. I have three of Bill’s amazing works at home already so I am going to have to sell this beauty. It has my favourite f hole sound, loud and clear with depth and resonance.

In today a Madagascar rosewood Bourgeois D150. Madagascar rosewood is going to be restricted soon, I have already stopped ordering guitars made with it and many of the luthiers I work with have stopped using it so get one while you can.

The two most recent arrivals are all the way from Montana. Bruce Webber and his small team make truly excellent mandolins – and the rest of the mandolin family – and at very reasonable prices. The Gallatin F5 sounds as good as a glossy higher spec’d mandolin, the Bitterroot F style octave mandolin is yet more proof of why you need a carved instrument to get warmth, power and definition all in one.

In my continuing efforts to find the best value mandolins and guitars during these hard times I am delighted to have my first two Country Boy mandolins for Audey Ratliff. They sound great and look fantastic, an F5 for £1595 and an A5 for £1250, new challengers to the Weber Gallatin line for best bang for buck hand made mandolins.
