The Horner "Mrs. Griffith" style A5 Mandolin










This prototype is a commissioned built A5 patterned from Roger Siminoff's pattern of the Lloyd Loar era A-5. The red spruce is from a tree that the late Ted Davis and John Arnold sourced in West Virginia in the Fall (October) of 1990. I chose the wood because of excellent tone from past experiences.

The maple was sourced from sawyer Red Wilson of Putnam county. The truss rod cover and nut are ivory which are additional to the production model.

Production models will have an entry price of $2500 cash excluding case and shipping
