Clark alert: Austin tells us he recently sent the blonde Two-point sister to the prototype Clark JM to Gryphon Strings in Palo Alto, California. (It's not even listed yet, so you have the inside track!) This is great news for someone interested in a great instrument similar to the JM, but doesn't have the patience to wait a year.

Want to see and hear the JM in action? Check out the following MySpace video. A proud Dad shows off the most important thing in his life (his daughter, not the mandolin...).
