The museum has been gifted with a Weber Bitterroot F Style Mandolin valued at $2,999.00 to sell at auction. Weber’s generous donation to the museum is in support of both our Monroe-Style Mandolin Camp and ROMP. It has a particularly fine tone, strong and melodic. This is one of the best instruments we’ve been given and will undoubtedly age well. To view it, go to their website, www.soundtoearth.com.gabrielle@bluegrassmuseum.org
Dr. Richard “Richie” Brown (The Reunion Band, Boston and Associate Director of the Monroe-Style Mandolin Camp) was enjoying playing it at our booth at
IBMA. While he was testing it out, we received an opening bid of $1,000.
To place a bid, please be in touch with Gabrielle Gray at the museum by phone or email:
270-926-7891 or
Museum staff will keep you posted as bidding progresses. Bidding in $25 increments will close at 7:00 PM CST Saturday, November 7th with the winner
announced during our annual Members Night At The Museum dinner party.
All interested parties will be called at 6:55 PM Nov 7th with a chance to place a final bid. We’ll keep you on the phone until the bidding closes at
7:00 PM.
This is an excellent opportunity to obtain a fine instrument at a good price, and for a good cause.
