David Grisman Quintet Opus 38

[@jacobkildoo535]

Can anyone identify Grisman's mandola? Seems like maybe it's a Gibson H-4, but what year?

[@BenAdam-om2hr]

Pre 1923 H-4 for sure.

@@BenAdam-om2hr nice, thank you! Any specific features you're looking at to place it?

[@BenAdam-om2hr]

@@jacobkildoo535 It's a rather low def clip, but it appears to be (possibly) a 'double' flowerpot head-stock with no truss rod. I see no t/r cover nor screws, so it has to be pre-Loar era. The K-4 that Mike is playing appears to have a truss rod, but I could be mistaken. The only sure way to know is to ask Dawg. He remembers everything!
