 September 07, 2006 | Condino New Century
Coming soon from the magical workshop of master luthier, James Condino, the New Century Mandolin. James notes "The basic idea is that I got a very relaxed and candid chance to spec out and play the original snakehead Loar A5 a few years ago and this represents my interpretation of it. It is made from some incredible quilted maple and Adirondak red spruce that was seasoned for 103 years when I started carving it. I like this one so well, I may keep it for my personal instrument. I do happen to have two more complete sets of the identical materials that were sister cut form the same logs, but orders are out 18 months right now!"
Pictures will be available soon. We are also eager for the arrival of his famous Cricket model and another surprise for a closeup Spotlight Review very soon. Staff members in the JazzMando laboratory are all atwitter with anticipation!
