Thanks for the tip. I will look him up.

I am into the no frills, bare bones thing. It's why someday I will own an Iris Guitar.

AGF member "Mandobart" has one or two Morris built mandolins. You might want to shoot him a PM. There is a Morris group on the Mandolin Cafe forum and there is a Morris mandolin page on FaceBook. I don't think it gets a lot of traffic, though there are a lot of pictures posted.
