Sound To Earth Orchard had big, beautiful cherries this year, even though the crop was small due to a cold, wet spring. We mailed out cherries, sold and traded them locally, and many went to Flathead Cherry Association’s Washington Fruit Company. It’s been an adventure and we appreciate you guys joining us.

2007 pre Yellowstone model Big Sky mandolin. Has all of the appointments of the Montana Yellowstone mandos from 2007 on.
I just did a re-fret, speed neck, and all the setup tweaks, so it’s good to go. This mando has been well used with lots of finish distressing on the top. The build is solid and after the recent work, plays great. Can’t beat the price at $2800.

Following is another nice letter we received from a happy player: Hi Bruce, Despite my anxiety attack, the mando got here safe and sound. It was waiting on the doorstep, freshly arrived when I went home for lunch yesterday.I can’t tell you how pleased I am with how it plays and sounds. It has a lightness and sweetness of tone that I can’t get from my other instruments. It’s like it has come to life.I don’t know what magic happens in Montana, but my mandos have all been the better for visiting there and taking the cure!
