We've been out of the instrument selling business lately, but this Rigel Gypsy Q mandolin caught our eye. Lynne Harris, web designer extraordinaire, is selling her personal whiteface Q-95. Responsible for designing Rigel's recently updated website (not too long prior to its industry exodus), she caught the MAS bug bad and had to have what would ultimately become one of the last batch of Gypsy Q's Rigel would make before shutting its doors.

Rigel made a slew of fabulous A+ Deluxe instruments in its prime, but the Johnny-come-lately Q-95s will be increasingly harder to find. Better snatch this one up before someone else does. We know for a fact that it was well cared for and sports fabulous tone and playability. Don't tell her she's not asking enough for it, either...

Tell Lynne you heard about it at JazzMando.com. If the URL isn't there, it's probably already sold..
