"FFcP.gif In 2002, we began documenting our unique approach to developing mandolin fretboard familiarity. We felt the conventional approach to learning this, one in which the open strings become the anchor for understanding the instrument, each chromatic note regarded as somewhat of a continuum between, offered far to many limitations for a musician wanting to branch out into keys beyond G, D, and A, let alone the upper frets." - Greg GuitarBuster from Bookmarklet

We are fascinated by the post-modern chic of the A-model mandolin by UK builder Nigel Forster. Having the fortunate opportunity of apprenticeship with internationally regarded luthier Stefan Sobell, he worked for Sobell several year until January 1990, then returned two years later where he remained until November 2003. The following year the young builder set up his own shop in Newcastle upon Tyne, where continues building original guitars, bouzuokis, and mandolins of his own signaure design. His notoriety increased, he has a following seeking what he describes as the "Forster sound--the key words power, fullness and playability." - Greg GuitarBuster from Bookmarklet
