Actually, it looks as though it may be one of the mandolin store's custom distressed Weber models.
I've owned a few Webers' and feel Bruce makes a nice instrument.
This one above looking to be a fine example!
Yep it's a DiamondBack 1 look at the frets though and you can tell it gets played, a lot. I'm thinking about getting a refret in stainless

I saw your post over on the mandolin cafe about your trip to the Mandolin Store. I would love to be able to sit down with that many mandolins around me at one time. You must of thought you died and gone to mando heaven :winking: My son has been playing for just over 2 years and I promised him when he started that I'd get him an F style if he practiced hard and stuck with it. Well, he kept his end of the bargain so I had to keep mine. Here is a picture of him just after opening the case and one of him playing it. And here is a link to a video of him playing it last night. Great mando, but I still prefer my Larrivee A-33 over it! John Lonesome Fiddle Blues on Weber Yellowstone  Wow, your son was amazing!

I love the mandolin so much, I could possibly give up guitar for it ( though I'd probably get more gigs AND money for my guitar playing ) Just have a Michael Kelly A+ that works for me. My friend Andy won at Winfield ( not sure if it was guitar or mando ), won a Gallagher guitar. But more importantly, he's the owner of a new Larivee F model!. It was only a couple of weeks old when he let me play it. What a nice instrument! I'll never be able to justify that kind of money to my wife but IF I had disposable income, I'd dispose of it that way............

+1 here The fiddler in our band started playing mandolin (some songs required its sound more than the violin's), and after trying his 1919 Lyon&Healey, I was converted too. It feels very easy and fun to play. Currently making first steps on Fender FM62SCE thinline but definitely see a "proper" acoustic in my future. Maybe even a Larry, if I'll be lucky enough to find one used. Cheers!

I stuck my toe in the water over the past couple years, too. Been trying out Eastmans (Eastmen?). I'd love to try a Larrivee but I've never seen one around here...

Wow! Beautiful Eastmans! I tried 505 at our recording session recently. Liked it very much. Though I knew that I'd be restless until getting a Larry :) So one deal is in works now ;)

I'm a beginner on mando too. According to Joe Walsh pegnation course you can use D, C, ang G chord patterns to play virtually any chord. Easier than on guitar ;)

 The pic is of my Suzuki mandolin which was given to me as a gift 40 years ago. It is the instrument I have owned the longest. It is pictured with my newest guitar, a Forum V RS-4. The neck has sort of split from the body, so it is no longer playable. I used it on some home recordings. I would like to get another mandolin. Mike

Very nice Atlas! Do you know the builder's name?
i remember seeing a few magic twangers plaued in vancouver and victoria back in the eighties and ninties. they are really cool. i found a warby octave mandolin a few years ago. had a top crack that was repaired but the tone is fantastic. better than many that cost three times as much terry warby is a great ugy and a loss to instrument making as he now mostly makes jewelry. he found he made a lot more money with that, and had more creative range. cool instruments.

i have never tried a larrivee mandolin. wish i could decades ago i was in spokane washington at the "sound hole" music store and found a gibson 1924 snakehead A mandolin. rode hard but a cannon. bought it and never looked back. i am not a new high end mando guy. i love the sound of old gibsons from the teens and twenties and i think they are waaaay under priced to this day. (except for lloyd loar f 5s). i have a refinished snake head and a 1919 a4 now, different but all fantastic mandolins with that loud woody tone that made gibson famous. i have a couple of japanes or korean cheap ones that have good tone. there are some decent asian mandolins, and i prefer my korean special for busking in winter.(an aspen f hole A)
i would like to try a larrivee someday.

I have owned a Collings MT for a few years. Still very green but such a nice instrument. A lifetime keeper.
