 March 20, 2008 | The Mechanic's Corvette; James Condino
So what does a luthier play? What kind of collection does he/she keep for personal enjoyment? Our friend James Condino, arguably one of the greatest mandolin innovators alive today weighs in with his personal thoughts and experiences in this captivating article on "The Mechanic's Corvette," a journal in the life of an instrument and it's maker. If you're as captivated by the pictures as we were, you'll want to check out his website, as well.
When Condino isn't repairing or building, writing for Mandolin Magazine and Fine Wood Working, or teaching instrument building classes, he can by seen mountain climbing, wild water rafting, or dodging urban traffic on bicycle. This man lives life on the edge, and builds that way too!
