OK, just returned from a weekend in Berlin. And it's not an overwhelmingly beautiful European city like Paris or Prague or Florence. But it's very cool and compelling. Plus there are some sweet flea markets. And yours truly scored a funky 1926 German mandolin at the one near the Mauer-Park. It's a 12 string mando built to have 3-string clusters rather than the modern 2-string clusters. My finger tips may never forgive me.A more thorough photo essay at this link.

Oooooh...!
that's a beautiful instrument. congratulations.
Thanks! A little more research done ... apparently this is actually a mandriola.
I don't think I can wait until the next Cobalt Season album to hear you play, so hows about a CraigBobinParis podcast? It could just be you noodling around-- it would sound like sitting at your kitchen table. ;-)
Iiiiinteresting .... let's make a deal ... if you come do a duo-cast from the kitchen table at Chez Burnett, then we can do a mini-series of podcasts.
