Mando Dave LLB - the MandoHarping lawyer from Coffs Harbour Yacht Club. Dave is a fellow sufferer (with Dane) of MAS (Mandolin Aquisition Syndrome), a debilitating condition characterised by the desire to continually own more mandolins, almost to the point of a medical condition. MAS sufferers can easily be recognised by the symptoms: skulking around the back shelves of guitar shops in the eternal hope that behind all those guitars there's just one more beautiful mandolin, and continually trawling through online auction sites in the never-ending search for mandolins hidden away in esoteric categories.

Here Dave is at CHYC (at the club's weekly acoustic session - if you're in the area please come along on a Wednesday night - all musos welcomed) proudly showing off his brand-new MandoHarp Ukulin (Ukulele body, Mandolin neck and head). Dave wasn't sure how many mandolins this brought his CMC (Current Mandolin Count) up to... somewhere around ten we think.

Ted - A wealth of experience on an Aussie harp mic

Ted plays harmonica in the clubs around his home town of Tweed Heads. He's been playin' harp for well over fifty years. Ted contacted MadoHarp and Loudbark to order a custom harp mic. Here's a couple of pictures of Ted and his personalised microphone from Rowan and Michelle at Loudbark Microphones.

MandoHarpers of the future - A wonderful afternoon at Mylestom

One beautiful Saturday afternoon in early Autumn, Dane decided to take a drive down the end of the road to the local Mylestom river pool park (on the Bellinger River) to take some pictures of MandoHarp instruments for our eBay item descriptions. He found an enthusiastic team of talented helpers! So much for the instruments. As you will see, the kids stole the show!

Many thanks to the Ryan family and friends for such a fun afternoon and for allowing us to post these pictures of their outstanding talents.

About MandoHarp Instruments

All MandoHarp instruments are tracked from the moment of their original creation or purchase. Each instrument is assessed by an expert musician when received and again before offering it for sale. A brief report is written and stored in our database for each item, noting paticularly our expert assessment on receipt, any work performed on the instrument and its final condition.

Personal Service

At MandoHarp we like to get to know our customers - we're musicians and we like to get to know other musicians. We love to talk with musicians whenever possible [probably a bit too much! :)]. And especially musicians who are interested in our instruments. Please feel more than welcome to email (info@mandoharp.com) or phone us (61- 2-65685545) to discuss your music at any time.

Inspections, trials and pickup by prior arrangement are welcome at our workshops
in Nambucca Heads, near Coffs Harbour on the NSW North Coast.

Our goal at MandoHarp is to provide instruments you will cherish for many years to come.
