Hey folks,

Here are some pics to whet your winter appetite...the A's should be varnished soon (there's one more), and the Dué is staying with me...

...which means I'll be playing it, showing it and lending it out for the next year or so.  It's a very special one with all of the bells and whistles:  one piece sugar maple back from Shelburne Farms (just a few miles south of here), keyhole HS, ebony pickguard and matching armrest.  Stay tuned to hear what it sounds like--I hope to record it soon. 

Also, keep an eye out for changes to the website.  We'll be re-launching with lots of new photos and media soon, as well as sharing new models and special projects:  archtop guitar, octave mandolin and A-440 (oval hole) mandolin.

We're finally connected to a fat-pipe internet line here at the shop, and have some new communication information to share.  You can reach the shop several new ways:  on skype at (userid) campanellastrings, or by our new phone # (802) 662-1242.

happy fall,

Joe
