We've mentioned Gypsy's Music before with the introduction of their G model, and their recent Octave Mandolin. We're proud to introduce them as a new Sponsor of the JazzMando website. Welcome, Walt and Juan!

Featuring a wide variety of exotic hardwoods, their focus is on the subtle sophistication and acoustics of the flat-top, though the G model features a very slight induced arch as well as an EMG-B active pickup. They are one of few manufacturing companies that are still US based, and produce a premium acoustic product at a magnificently low price. We've even put a deposit on an Octave for the lab we look forward to receiving in January for research purposes.

Okay, and some selfish reasons, too.

We'd like to thank all our sponsors for their generous support of the JazzMando Site. These builders, music retailers, software developers, and record labels are on the cutting edge of creating products that serve our market, and we encourage you to click on their banners (over to the right) and spend some time on their sites.

Advertising revenue is directed at maintaining the site, but also for offering scholarships, supporting clinics and workshops and events, new product development and instrument designs, and other important projects that spread the good word about playing jazz on the mandolin.
