How long have humidifiers and the like been on the market? And how many quality instruments were played for years before then and are still in good condition?
Okay, just went to the Michael Lewis site and now I remember him...I only ever saw his Archtops...didn't know aobut the mandos! Love the reinhart one and the octave...I have plans drawn up for an octave one and hope to get round to building it sometime soon. Edward

I ahve never heard of an Muchael Lewis mando, I will have to look that up! I have two mandos, well one mando and one Banjolin, which is kind of a hybrid baby banjo body with a mandolin neck. There are pics/descriptions on my site.
