The look on your face when you played it. Only a father looks at a child like that. I can see there is a lot more put into your instruments than wood and glue. I hope it finds a loving home.
Beautiful instrument, rings like a bell you playing it Jerry is superb, you can surely move around on the mandolin sounds great. Peace and Love from Bonny Scotland.
My wife always hums to music she likes and she must really like yours as every time I listen to your show she seems very much in tune to what you are playing.
Rosa mandolins are surely master-grade. If anything you are being modest about it, players will be coveting them well beyond all our years. It sounds alive.
Im currently in the market for a mandolin. Ive got "Rosa" taste, with a "Eastman" pocketbook. Haha! Its gorgeous though Mr. Jerry. That pick wear doesnt hurt it at all. Just shows its been loved, and has plenty of character. Nothing as pretty as an F-5 style mandolin!
Jerry that seems like a wonderful instrument crystal clear clear like a bell I wish I could buy it but I don't have that kind of money laying around good luck
What a beautiful instrument Jerry. I just bought a brand new d18 myself , that I had more trouble with than you want to know, or I would definitely consider purchasing that myself.
Jerry, beautiful instrument and I noticed it has a maple back, just like your recent build, which sounded so fine. I'll give you $20 for it. Hey, Jerry, don't laugh or be offended. I'm like the old woman who gave a penny. That's my life savings. 😥😬
As always I enjoy your videos. Thank you. However I wonder when you are going to give us another repair video. The last one was " Shame on you Gibson" 2 months ago. Thanks again.
that is a awesome sounding piece of art. i will not own anything like that any time soon unless some lottery favours me very much in the future. so until then, I'll play my old kinda-restored-to-playable flee-market Italian bowl style mandolin.
That is one sweet sounding mandolin! My headphones maybe lying to me but that mandolin seems to have a good balance of sweetness and bark. Is this the impression you get in the room playing it Jerry? I doubt I could do it justice, but I'll be keeping an eye out on this auction. The pick wear adds a lot of character to it. Not a fan of fake wearing an instrument, but I do like to see honest wear on a used instrument. Please keep us in the loop on it! Thanks as always.
Whether you famous or not.promise is promise,atleast for me.based on your craftmanship and details he should appriciate it and told you earlier if he doesnt want it.😁
Other than those two minor flaws in the surface of the mandolin it looks brand new. Someone is going to get a very nice instrument. I would dispute the comment in the video saying the sustain of the instrument is in any way related to the type of tailpiece. I would put it down to the wood and general construction of the instrument.
Obviously the construction matters greatly for sustain. The comment is saying that the solid tailpiece AIDS the sustained. That is widely understood and widely known to anyone who builds instruments. A heavy peg head and a solid tailpiece always help sustain.
Is it my imagination, or does the light show that the bridge has sunken a tiny bit into the top? It’s a beautiful instrument so sorry Jerry if I’ve cast dispersions.
I'm sure there's some aspiring player who would love to snag that up. Put it out there, especially on eBay. Give it a realistic value with a reserve. Once folks know about it (and refer them to this vid so they can see and hear) someone somewhere will be interested!
Jerry you remember how you started off building a Mandolin because you couldn't afford to buy one...well that's me...except I don't have the necessary skills to build one...& can't afford what your instruments are going for these days:( Beautiful little instrument though!

These are such great looking instruments. The little carved rose on the back is really a special touch.

Nice instrument. Speaks to the quality of the builder after 12 years.
Great sounding mandolin Jerry good luck my friend with the auction God bless you and your family
Like all your creations, that thing is gorgeous! Sounds great too!👍😎🎸🎶
That's a great looking mandolin, and it sounds fantastic! Whoever buys that will be really happy!
My wife always hums to music she likes and she must really like yours as every time I listen to your show she seems very much in tune to what you are playing.
Kidney for sale, one careful owner. Well, it's the only way I could ever afford to buy this beautiful mandolin !

I have to work on what's in front of me.
Very nice and I can see that the action is very low that is what I think is important most of all. Must play like a dream.

someone is going to buy a great instrument.
Beautiful sunburst finish! Hey Jerry, how about them Chiefs?
It's gorgeous, but I just bought a pre-war D-18 ;) Well, actually 1957 D-18
buddy I know what you mean with the hands! it does sound great!
Is it my imagination, or does the light show that the bridge has sunken a tiny bit into the top? It’s a beautiful instrument so sorry Jerry if I’ve cast dispersions.
Hope it sells well.
All jocularity aside, I hope you get at least $6,000 , for it.
And, you are wrong, it IS famous. It is an original Rosa Mandolin.
I'm Sure whoever ends up winning the auction will be really pleased with it..
Good looking
I need it!

It's being auctioned on my website. The current bid is $4,500.
@@RosaStringWorks Hey! I won't ask what the target is, probably as much as you cant, right. :) Has it hit it's reserve yet?
Jerry you remember how you started off building a Mandolin because you couldn't afford to buy one...well that's me...except I don't have the necessary skills to build one...& can't afford what your instruments are going for these days:( Beautiful little instrument though!
Yes, it is ironic. But I was much younger than starting out with a family and just didn't have any money. I still don't have much money.
Nice! Wish I could bid on it.
Oh, but you can. LOL.
@@RosaStringWorks Not at this point in time. Darn the luck!
When are you selling your hhome made pick ups
it is a sound cannon
I refuse to give a thumbs up on this because I can't bare to see you SELL IT!! - Oh well. Guess I'll give in.
Nice Mandolin Rosa wish I could play but I have no sense for music and fat clumsy fingers .
man gettin ol Sux
Unfortunately they only let me do one, but thumbs up to crush a troll.
Ever make a mandocello?
no
Wow I guess iam two yrs to late
You are too nice Jerry A man is as good as his word and well his character is lacking..
You are in the business of repair so why don't you fix it to almost new condition? I'm a banjo picker, but that is a great mandolin.
I simply don't have time.
Boy any mandolin player with it in the budget would be crazy not to buy this INSTRUMENT.
