The Karasik Mandolin Project's goal is to preserve Ely Karasik's January 5th, 1923 Lloyd Loar-Signed F5 Gibson #71839. While doing this, I also wish to to share the instrument with a variety of mandolinists that would otherwise not have access to a Lloyd Loar. This has been done by taking the mandolin to festivals, events and concerts, and getting video footage of the mandolin being played. The videos have been released on a weekly basis since January 2022.  To learn more about the project, or, to become an investor in the project, head over to the website HERE! You will find all the info you need as well as links to the Youtube and Facebook page and more!

His instruments have graced the cover of David Grisman's Quintet ‘80 and been displayed in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. John Monteleone has been pushing the luthiery envelope for more than forty years with his refreshing passion for new and elegant designs. Producing instruments of great tonal expression is also one of Monteleone's missions in life. A dedication to the refined harmonic balances of tone and playability is always the central nucleus of structural foundation around which he often introduces the more interesting design accents and playful nature of his original and beautiful works.  Be sure to check out Jim Richter's wonderful Monteleone page HERE.  Special thanks to Davey Harrison for sending along a track and a free PDF from the Boston Imposter's upcoming music book which you can back HERE!
