House of Musical Traditions in Takoma Park, MD (just outside of Washington DC) is a dealer for Weber mandolins, which are handcrafted in Logan, MT from all solid woods. Here we have Mark Sylvester, one of our mandolin teachers, demonstrating the Aspen #2 model, one of Weber's flat-top mandolins.
This mandolin has a spruce top, flamed maple back & sides, radiused & bound ebony fretboard, dual action adjustable truss rod, ebony bridge with replaceable saddle, Grover tuners, and satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Deluxe hardshell case is included.
List price is $1.599. Contact us for our discounted price and availability at hmtmail@hmtrad.com or 301-270-9090.

On this video Mark is playing an unnamed original ditty.
Video produced by Glenn Tucker with audio engineered by HMT's in-house engineer and pro audio repairman Trevor Higgins. We used Neuman TLM103s through a tube preamp and with a DBX compressor set in stereo.
The instrument sounds beautiful, and your video and audio are great.
