Here are a few of my favorites places to visit on the web:

The Mandolin Cafe: www.mandolincafe.com The resource for all things mandolin. Operated by one of the best swing mandolin players I've ever heard, Scott Tichenor.

JazzMando.com Ted Eschliman is a wonderful jazz resource, a fine businessman, musician, and good guy - there are few mandolin supporters as devoted as Ted.

Arches Mandolins: www.archesmusic.com Chris Baird makes beautiful instruments in Moab, Utah, -- he built an amazing F5 for me -- plus he's a nice guy and terrific crafstman.

Old Wave Mandolins: www.oldwavemandolins.com Bill Bussman builds wonderful mandolins, and an occassional guitar, banjo-like things, and cheese or melon shaped instruments.

Intermountain Guitar and Banjo: www.guitarandbanjo.com Instrument dealers in Salt Lake City with an amazing inventory of vintage and new instruments of the highest quality.

Elderly Music: www.elderly.com Music superstore in Lansing, MI. Great resource for books, CDs, and vintage instruments.

Mass Street Music: www.massstreetmusic.com Always a fine collection of instruments for sale, and ardent supporters of MandoFest (R.I.P.). Located in Lawrence, KS.

Greg Boyd's House of Fine Instruments: www.gregboyd.com Located in Missoula, MT, but I've only seen them at various festivals around the region. Great supporters of acoustic music, and purveyors of fine acoustic instruments.

D'Addario Strings: www.daddario.com I play JS74 strings, the stainless steel version of the J74. I have to buy them just like everybody else. I'd love for them to see this and send me a box... :-)
