This exceptional and effortlessly easy-to-play mandolin, made by Rolfe Gerhardt South Thomaston, ME, is similar in appearance to his Phoenix NeoClassical in that it has neither top nor back binding and utilizes (to extremely good effect) Thomastic Enfield flatwound strings which are made in Vienna, Austria.  It has the two-part adjustable bridge in which the bridge base is made from “Timeless Timbre” or “Old Wood” or maybe “Sinker Maple” – wood that was submerged in an extremely deep river under tremendous pressure for over a hundred years, or so says the legend.

Weber makes every carved family model in every voicing – mandolin, mandola, octave mandolin and mandocello.  We commend them for their versatility and, as well, for the extremely high quality of their design and workmanship.   This has a standard 17” scale length, a polished ebony headplate that bears the stylized “Weber” Victorian era typeface logo and a complicated Celtic knot thereunder – both in ivoroid.

Its top is bordered in “rope” wood marquetry of alternating crème and black parallelograms, and the top has twin rings of rope that form a sort of slightly separated, wide herringbone appearance.  The bridge is ebony and has a rolled (compensated) bone drop-in saddle; the sides are bound in rosewood with a thin line of ebony-spruce-ebony on each border and also the back; the back stripe is small zipper wood marquetry.

This model really is special. It is a Martin OM with many characteristics of the prewar. Firstly, it is a 000-14 fret Orchestra Model, long scale, beautiful beyond words and housed in a fancy 533E Geib style hard shell case. We are exceptionally fond of this model, made as it is with a solid Sitka spruce top that is burnished with aging toner to a lovely deep shade, similar to what an original (say) 1930 Martin OM-28 guitar might look like today.  The C F Martin List Price is $3,799

The latest of Martin’s hard-working, great sounding solid wood Road Series guitars, the new DRS2 delivers a unique blend of durability and concert-quality sound and projection. Constructed with solid Sapele back and sides and Sitka spruce top, the DRS2 is a serious working musician’s guitar built with an extra rigid Stratabond neck to withstand the rigors of touring. A Fishman Sonitone sound reinforcement system completes this very road – and stage – worthy Martin. Includes a hardshell case.

DRS1 Dreadnought marks the return of Martin’s Road Series, which was originally introduced in 2001, designed for working and traveling guitarists on a modest budget, who require their instrument to be durable without giving up the quality of its sound. The top, back and sides are crafted of solid sapele and braced for resonance and projection. The DRS1 neck is built with multilaminate Stratabond™ for extra rigidity and durability, and the belly bridge and fingerboard are made of Richlite™ that achieves a similar look to ebony. This model comes equipped with the Fishman Sonitone sound reinforcement system.  The Martin List Price is $949

The Collings MF5 is a fully appointed F-model with a carved seasoned Red spruce top and premium maple back and sides. With its superb tone, elegant stylings and unmatched playability, the MF5 is sure to please the most discerning eyes and ears.

The UT1 is a 1-style mahogany tenor ukulele. Built with the same quality construction as our higher end models, the satin finish UT1 is undoubtedly one of the finest professional tenor ukes available in its price range. With solid mahogany top, back and side wood, its visual beauty rivals its sonic complexity.

'OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed it has become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play on steel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing, and when the graceful cutaway is added these OMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore all 20 frets much as they would on an electric guitar. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response.

This extremely fine, beautifully made instrument has a Honduran mahogany body and neck with a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, East Indian rosewood fretboard and veneer, traditional single-point headstock and geared tuning pegs.  It also sounds absolutely amazing.
