My interest in
mandolin started in December 2000, when my younger son, a high school
senior at the time, received a mandolin as a Christmas gift. He showed me
the tuning and some basic chord structures on it. For about 16 months, I
took bluegrass and old time fiddle tune lessons from a professional
stringed instrument teacher. Since July 2004, I have been playing in a
local bluegrass band. I have received several compliments from audience
members and some other musicians about how good the tone sounds on this
mandolin.
In July 2005, I enjoyed the musical highlight of my life and was able to
try out my new Yellowstone at the professional level, when I had the
privilege of playing mandolin as a guest with the Norfolk Southern Lawmen,
a top professional touring band.
My custom
Yellowstone is expertly crafted with a lot of care, as evidenced by the
superb tone and volume, and the flawless fit and finish. It has a full
“woof” on chord chops, and is clear and balanced on all individual notes
right up the neck. It’s wonderful to play, and is already a treasured
family heirloom which I intend to pass along to a grandchild some day. My
thanks to everyone at Weber. You built a great one for me.
