About Us

From the time I was a small child my dad would try his hardest to get me to play the guitar with him but I had little interest. I was more interested in sports like most young boys. Dad had my brother and I singing by the time we could talk. Dad would tune the guitar to open tuning and pay me a dollar to play.   When I finally got interested, my mom says dad would come home from work and I would be in my room playing guitar with old Hank Snow and Flatt & Scruggs records and dad would just grin. My dad always traded around with musical instruments so you never knew what he would pack home.

My first job was working in a hardware store. I wound up making a career of that and spent over 20 years in the hardware business. The last ten of those years, I spent as a District Manager for Ace Hardware. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to see beyond the surface of how people operate their businesses.   After 10 years, I was growing tired of spending so much time behind the windshield of a car. I decided it was time merge what I had learned in my career and what I had learned trading musical instuments. Now I can share my knowledge and love of fine instruments with you. I present to you "The Mandolin Store".
 
Brian, Kathy and I want to thank you for visiting "The Mandolin Store" and we want you to know that nothing is as important to us as your total satisfaction.   Having played musical instruments for over 30 years, I know that having the right instrument,  with the right set up means eveything.    Buying on line can be scarey but you can rest easier knowing that we personally inspect and set up each instrument before it ships to you.  Thanks for visiting
