March 21, 2007 | Brock 5-string
In the works for friend and mandolin wunderkind prodigy Bryce Milano, a jazzbox 5-string mandolin. From the magic bench of world renown builder Fletcher Brock, this is the 2nd amazing instrument the young virtuoso has been privileged to own. Originally from Cape Cod but now based in Seattle, Brock offers an amazing variety of archtop options in his building including jazzbox octave mandolins, and even a unique Selmer styles.

We've had the privilege of hanging with Bryce and has father, Joseph at Rigelfest as well as a return visit to the Milano roots in southeastern Nebraska at a Darol Anger/Mike Marshall event. Coincidentally, the nucleus for String Nation came out of this gathering. The line up of amazing acoustic musicians includes such notables as Marshall & Anger, Tim O'brien, Stephane Wrembel, Bryce Milano, in a variety of international styles from other continents. The festival is May 11-12 in New Jersey, and schedule can be found at the String Nation website.
