KFM #0119 from 1980

This KFM mandolin was built for Ray Bartholomew of Glens Falls, NY, and finished in August of 1980. It features a birdseye maple back and European spruce top.

Although Ray passed away later in the 1980s, the mandolin is still well loved and appreciated by his son, Neil, who sent these photos.

“I play a little, just not very well. Anybody who can really play loves it.”
