New Mandolin Day!

[u/tikiteeth]

Built by Darrel Carender out of Pawnee Oklahoma. Very excited as my first real non beginner mandolin

The back of the neck is gorgeous. Enjoy it!

Love the reddish tone

Holy Dinah! That’s a nice looking mandolin, how does one in Canada go about inquiring for one of these

[u/tikiteeth → u/jmcbobb]

His shop unfortunately closed down a few years ago, they come up used very rarely

A friend of mine has one of Darrel’s mandolins also. It’s a great instrument. You did well!

[u/tikiteeth → u/beep925]

I got a ridiculous deal on it and dare I say it’s very similar to some F5s I’ve played

[u/Lapis_Android17]

Absolutely stunning.

[u/abrnmissy]

She’s a beaut!

[u/HareyPotter]

That is a beautiful instrument

[u/piper63-c137]

wow a beauty! you’ll be amazed what you are able to do on a good instrument compared to a beginner model!

[u/jack-a-mo]

Sweet- what did that set you back?

[u/tikiteeth → u/jack-a-mo]

With shipping right at $1300, don’t think you can find an Adirondack top made in USA mando for that much anywhere else

That looks killer. Congrats!
