Solidly handmade in Helena, Montana, the Blues Hardware brand continues to provide our customers with one-of-a-kind great-sounding, affordable, and durable instruments. As usual, we find this newest mandolin is not only stylish, but a joy to play. Mr. Sheehy continues to hone his techniques and produce quality instruments, fashioned from woods he harvests himself and components he manufactures in his own shop. He builds his mandolins to last and stands behind his work. We are proud to partner with him.
