Preparing for his visit to the other side of the globe, the JazzMando Research Staff and Shipping department will be temporarily shutting things down for the first week in June as Site Author, Ted Eschliman heads to China and Taiwan as a guest of Jupiter Band Instruments (KHS Musical Instruments) for a tour of their manufacturing facilities.

From June 2 through 9, we'll be taking orders, but we won't be able to ship again until June 11th, so if you need strings, picks, or cloths, be sure to get your orders in this week. The staff doesn't get much time off, as orders are processed and shipped immediately; they are always on call 24/7. This will be a well-deserved vacation for them. Though there are no mandolin factories on the agenda, Eschliman is looking forward to the factory tours and some sight-seeing in China.

More news to come from the Orient, soon. Also, upon everyone's return June 11th, we'll be shipping the new JazzMando T-shirt. We'll be posting ordering information on this in the next few days.
