First pair with the new labels due out soon - a pair of mandolins, an oval and an F. I've written about them on the blog. More stuff due back from the sprayers soon I hope including a pair of "satin" Session Kings.   Nigel |

Beautiful work, Nigel. Are either of these carved tops? The maple flame is stunning.

Be a lot easier if they all spoke English mind. . Forget it That far east they don't even speak proper german Geordies like to talk about their "Viking" heritage and how a lot of our dialect and pronunciation is similar to Norwegian, but one thing I've noticed here is how Geordie sounding German vowels are: the ü and the ö are almost identical to Geordie pronunciation. Or the flat "A" in wasser (water) is the same as the a in watta (Geordie water) I read somewhere on the web Geordie is the closest British dialect to old Anglo Saxon English. |
