This Gallatin F14-F Mandolin was designed and built by Bruce Weber. Beloved by musicians of all varieties for its punch, clarity and playability, the Gallatin is an innovative instrument with traditional integrity. It is hand carved with the same attention to detail as Weber’s highest-end instruments, and has all the chop, tone, and volume expected from a Weber. This particular mandolin, sn 11398401, was made in Logan, Montana in 2011 and signed by Bruce Weber, who sold the company in 2012. It has one minor body smudge.
