		<description><![CDATA[2 necks, 12 strings. This 1960s-era mandolin/ tenor guitar is one of the cooler things I&#8217;ve seen for a while. I&#8217;ve been switching between mandolin and tenor guitar for some of Tangleweed&#8217;s stuff, so a 2-header monster like this has some appeal. I&#8217;m wagering that an SG-style electric wouldn&#8217;t fly at bluegrass festivals, though.
At $13.5K, [...]]]></description>

One of the early casualties is this Fender FM-60E 5-string electric mandolin. It&#8217;s up for sale now on eBay. Fender no longer makes `em, so if you want one, this is your chance.

It&#8217;s been recorded by Milton Brown, Bob Wills, Tampa Red, Cab Calloway, Bob Dyan, ad nauseum, ad infinitum. There&#8217;s some nice mandolin on this track, I&#8217;m guessing it was played by Charlie McCoy. The fiddle sure sounds [...]]]></description>

Howard (&#8216;Louie Bluie&#8217;) Armstrong was a mandolinist I admired enormously, from his early recordings with the unfortunately named Tennessee Chocolate Drops to his later work with Martin, Bogan, and Armstrong, and as a solo artist. His recording of State [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Stradivarius of mandolins is this Stradivarius mandolin, one of two known examples. It&#8217;s in the collections of the University of South Dakota. With ten gut strings and what appear to be oud-like frets, it&#8217;s a markedly different instrument from the contemporary mandolin, which is largely based on the work of Orville Gibson.
It&#8217;s signed and [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s an interesting bit on the mandola from Andy Irvine&#8217;s web site:
