“pure, rich and deep, with the tinkling of silver bells in it”

spruce top, arched maple back, massive six-pole piece horse-shoe magnet pick-up ... great in the upper mid-range ... from what I can tell, made in 1936

What about Mandolins? I assume you have a pretty large collection.

I've got a Flat Iron I've been using since '89; somebody gave me an Ovation; it's a really nice sounding mandolin; a 1936 Electro Mandolin Rickenbacker with a whammy bar. I'm not sure why you're supposed to have a whammy bar on a mandolin!
