Ah, Summer is merely days away. Great time to hit the porch swing and do a little pre-dusk "swinging" of our own...

Might we recommend doing this with style, particularly French with the new Paris Swing Series Samois, wide-mouth D hole mandolin. Select, solid AAA flamed maple back and sides, a flamed maple neck and a solid sitka spruce top with a delicious tortoise-shell binding; a little professional tweaking, this is a fabulous value, terrific bang-for-buck as well as an eye-catching treat. (Street priced under $600!)

We're excited to see this kind of product opportunity, graduating beyond entry-level and into the development of intermediate-level product, especially one that promotes one of our favorite genres, the Gypsy-Jazz stylings of Django Reinhardt.
