SOLD - This Lynn Dudenbostel F5 mandolin is serial number 008 and has the traditional Loar-period look. The tone is remarkable and inspiring. Lots of power and volume when called upon, but sounds rich and bell-like when played more softly. Plays driving bluegrass with no problem - great chop - but is also extremely versatile. A rare combination of tonal attributes. This "Dude" lives up to the lofty reputation in every regard.
Features - Nicely flamed 2-pc maple back, sides and neck. The varnish finish evokes a vintage vibe. Fine workmanship. No fret wear. Radiused fretboard, gold hardware. Nice rectangular case with Dudenbostel badge.
