Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

October 28, 2005 | Four-String

We hold the conviction there is a bright future for the 4-string acoustic mandolin. Chord-melody playing, the signature Django "snap," and vibrato are only three of the many reasons this instrument needs to be taken seriously. We'd like to promote the untapped potential in the single-course, mandolin family instrument. The world is already blessed with the understated sophistication of the tenor guitar, and our very own fabulous Jazzbo, made by Arrow Guitar & Mandolin innovator, Paul Lestock.

We intend to pursue advancing another instrument in between.

Stay tuned!
(Single course, and in fifths, that is...)
