the summer of 2003 david grisman's gilchrist mandola was stolen at a festival in colorado (i think it was colorado, but i can't remember exactly-i'm having a senior moment).  the news went out on the mandolincafe.com website.  now really, how many people have gilchirst mandolas?  we all wondered how anyone was going to sell that instrument without someone catching on that it was the missing grisman mandola.  i guess the thief caught on that it was not going to be easy to sell or even have out in public because a few days after it disappeared grisman's management company got a box with the mandola in it.  someone told me there was a note in it that said "sorry", but i am not sure that information is reliable.

Thanks! Good news indeed. That must be one special Larrivee, especially now that is his again! Wonder what model it was also.

I'll have to go listen to some of their recordings now knowing that he was using the Larrivee on them.

The ebay sellers story seems to have changed a bit about how he got the guitar from what he told the person doing the news report which was posted.

musta been them g-men that knocked down his door.  could make anyone waiver on their story, but peter says he doesn't want to press charges.  i read another article about an hour ago that stated the seller named names, so i'm sure they feds went knocking on other doors.

If somebody is stealing stuff out of the airport baggage system, its to everybodys advantage to put him in a cage for while.

This was a "first steel string" Larrivee????   First model or first guitar???
Did anyone know that?

a friend of mine collects those early 70's larrivees.  i'll ask.  he has a very early manzer which you'd swear is a larrivee.

peter's could be the first steel string guitar jean made.

Hey, now that is cool.
Makes me feel all fuzzy.
Great job to those who were in some small way involved.

That is very good news and truly a happy ending! The guitar has been missing for 4 years and I hope that it's been well cared-for.

Mr Yarrow is showing more restraint than I would have though. I had a guitar stolen once and I would have removed the guy's liver through his nose using only a pair of chopsticks!

As for the ebay seller - gawd, what a dufus! :lol:

Glad Peter got his guitar back, but I agree with you 100%!  Getting ripped off is a horrible experience and the perps responsible should be held accountable.  Just my .02...

there was an article several months back in the newspaper concerning how much stuff is being stolen out of passenger's luggage.  since airport security has been beefed up and the airlines have been searching bags lots of folks stuff has turned up missing and the airlines are being beseiged by loss claims.  did anyone else see that?
