The Mandolins and Beer Podcast #264 Don MacRostie (Red Diamond Mandolins)

Episode Notes To Order my new album “Around the Clock” Click HERE! (Digitial, Limited CD or Limited Edition Vinyl) My guest this week is Don MacRostie. Don MacRostie is the creator of renowned Red Diamond mandolins, which he builds in his one-man shop near Athens, Ohio. A custom builder, Don's instruments are chosen by discriminating players for their tone, playability and beauty. Don has built over a hundred and twenty five instruments in this shop, and it's here that we filmed his entire building process. Don's exacting standards and long experience serve him well at Stewart-MacDonald, where he personally designs and directs the production of our mandolin, banjo and guitar kits. In learning mandolin building from Don, you benefit from his twenty-plus years of practical experience. Head over to Don's website HERE to see what Don is up to and check out photos of some of his beautiful instruments!
