Spring is (nearly) in the air, and for us that means picking on the porch. Nothing better to face the extremes of temperature and humidity (plenty of that in the Cornhusker State) with a Carbon Fibre ax, and that makes a New Millennium Acoustic Design mandolin the ultimate for worry-free, all weather playing. Never mind the fact this thing sounds and plays like a million bucks, the mojo of this dynamite instrument will threaten all but the die-hard purist/traditionalist with Mandolin Acquisition Syndrome. (Tradition?? Hey if a pipe organ was good enough for the Apostle Paul, it's good enough for us...)

We've got a NewMAD in the JazzMando Research Lab on loan for a week. Look for a review soon.

View Picture.

Imagine, record high of 80 degrees almost melted last week's 9 inches of snow.
