Tony Mosrite has the perfect name for this particular discussion. Here's why:




I've been enamored with the mandolin for a while. Jethro Burns, a legendary mandolin player, lived in Chicago for a long time, used to do shows with Steve Goodman, and my fascination began when I first saw Burns play sometime in the 1970's. I don't know how to play, but a buddy has a mandolin that a local guitar-maker built for him, and I've been obsessed with the idea of building one for myself. I'm not interested in building a guitar, but I'm completely over on the mandolin. I actually have a number of plans and collected some of the hardware, and one of these days I'll get into the shop to start this project...with absolutely no expectations for doing this other than completing the project to the best of my ability.
