Rising costs have forced me to increase the base price of my mandolins to $8500.00 however there are some things that I am offering to offset that somewhat. I am now using Allen tailpieces, EVO fretwire, and Bobelock cases. Waverly tuners are still offered as an add on for the moment.

Once your order is placed and deposit is paid, your price is locked in. I am taking a limited number of orders. I much prefer to have mandolins on hand for clients to play than to have you wait an extended length of time for a mandolin that you order. One of the joys of this job is seeing the face of new friends when you see your new Rattlesnake for the first time. For that reason, I'm not planning to let my build list grow to more than one year.

Currently accepting checks, money orders, and Paypal.  I can invoice you through paypal, you do not need an account. I do believe in the barter system. Bitcoin is also a possibility

Production times vary, however, I can usually give you an idea of when your mandolin will be finished.  Quality is more important to me than speed or quantity.  I NEVER CUT CORNERS.

Can you spot the Loar?
