  • Note that bluegrasssingman made factually inaccurate statements about the LM700, was quite insulting to me, and eventually made threats. He does not identify himself, choosing to hide. I have reluctantly blocked him, the first time I have done so. Most of his comments were already removed by youtube staff, I removed the last couple.

    Thank you

  • No, this is an import by "The Music Link" based in California, with distribution centers in California and Tennessee. Numerous discussions on mandolincafe  forum cover this and other "The Loar" instruments. Production costs in the USA are rather high currently.

  • Please note that, like numerous other mandolins, this instrument does not have tone bars. That's a perfectly acceptable way to make a mandolin and has been widely discussed in the mandolin community, regardless of what those with too little experience and too little impulse control think.

  • @bluegrasssingingman I have answered your questions. No tone bars. I have been rather polite to you. You should actually look inside the instruments you comment on. Your LM600VS has tone bars - I have a nice one at the moment, actually. Look inside an LM700 - no tone bars. I'm in the business. I know the manufacturers, I see the instruments all the time. I'm always learning new things and sharing those things. What do you bring to the party?

  • Is this mandolin made in the U.S.A.?

  • @bluegrasssingingman You seem to be more adept at typing than actually looking at instruments. The strength is in the arching - domes are very strong. It's simply the design of these. I am actually correct - I make instruments, I know what I'm looking at. I have, unlike you, actually seen and examines the item I'm writing about. Get off the couch and go look at one, play one. They hold up just fine.

  • @bluegrasssingingman See Big Joe's comments on cafe, I'd link, but this thing won't let me. I have sold a bunch of these. I get this from having talked to the reps, examined early models, examined numerous others, and examining this one. It's not a difficult thing to determine - look inside. No bracing.

  • @giannaviolins The top will crack, Where does it get support? Its a copy of a Fern, Gibson Fern has bracing.
