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 29, 2008 | Case Notes

We've had the privilege of cooperating with some world-class builders on new models of instruments. Past pet JazzMando projects include the Rigel Gypsy Q mandolin, Old Wave SoloComp Jazz Mandola 4-string, and of course our most recent Clark JM signature JazzMando model.

Hindsight usually keener than foresight, from where we sit it makes perfect sense to document the personal stories of an instrument's origin, special encounters and autographs from professionals, unique concerts or travel destinations. We don't often think of it at the time, but if your case had something convenient, a dairy of sorts, this would be an accessory that could accompany the instrument and be passed down over time, through generations. Such credentials would preserve and likely enhance value, both in sentiment and financial equity.

Case Notes

Such is the case (pun intended) with a unique product by entrepreneur Brant Beene. "Case Notes" is a small flexible notebook (5 1/4"H x 4 1/4"W x 1/2"D) you could store with your instrument to capture these moments. Might not be a bad Christmas present, and of course the earlier in the instrument's life, the better. If you recently commissioned a custom build, no better time than now to get one of these.
