Emotional mandolin for $100

In Folk Instruments In Mandolin By Ben Crane

Emotional mandolin for $100

Although I am not a speed picker, I do understand the emotion of a song. My influences are definitely bluegrass and Americana but I like to drag those styles into other genres. I play a custom-built Julian Tubb F-style mandolin with a red spruce top, recorded with a large diaphragm tube mic for that woody bark. I employ strong rhythms and tasty color, and particularly shine on slow, heartfelt music that wrings out every emotion that a note could tell you.

I do have a multiple-instrument rate; $100 for the first instrument, $75 for each additional instrument on the same song.
