A wee off topic...but for a good cause!

Hello all!

A few years ago, my friend and bouzouki teacher passed away, leaving me his collection of luthiery tools and about 200+ bowlback mandolins. I've been working hard to restore them and get them into fresh hands, but I now realize I have too little time (or space) to devote to them (I've also got a baby on the way....no, not a new oud....which'd be nice too ;)

Anyway, In order to cull the collection, I've started an online bowlback mandolin charity auction - all proceeds to our local chapter of Hospice.

So please, have a look, and if at all possible, spread the word!

Warmest regards,
Chris

Hey those mandolins look pretty cool. Do you ship to Europe?
