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."

November 15, 2008 | New at Clark Mandolins

We're proud to bring you some exclusive pics of the happenings on the workbench of Idaho builder, and perennial JazzMando fave, Austin Clark. The world class luthier (and designer of the famous Clark JM mandolin) is full-throttle in gear preparing for this February's Wintergrass Festival in Tacoma, Washington, February 19-22, 2009. He and his magic elves are preparing for a massive "Shock and Awe" exhibit, including this dandy Dola prototype, a Two-point oval.

We are looking into flight schedules, and hope to send a research team ourselves for the Winter festival. Join us?
