"Getting Mark to build my mandolin was the most fun I have ever had buying an instrument. Mark took the time to talk with me about every aspect in constructing my mandolin. Consequently I ended up with a mandolin that has everything I would ever want/need in any mandolin at any cost. The appearance is one of a kind thanks to Mark wanting my input on the design and the best tone I have ever heard thanks to Marks ability to voice this mandolin to the sound I dreamed in my head. Thanks Mark!" - Steve Greer, Washington, D.C.
