The Bitterroot is Montana's state flower, whose fleshy roots were used extensively as food by the Indians, Lewis and Clark, and the mountain men that followed. The Bitteroot Mountains follow the border between Idaho and Montana.

Hi fotw,

I recently received a new Weber Bitterroot from you guys. It is a standard model. Just wanted to let you know it is outstanding! The tone is awesome, action great, and I am in awe every time I pick it up. It has the perfect sound to play about anything, but loud enough to be Bluegrass workhorse. I have played a lot of cheaper mandos over the years and I am really glad I moved up a few notches. This mandolin has made my playing/practicing a whole different experience. You guys were really great to work with on this purchase and really helpful.

Thanks, J. Ellis

a few words about the weber bitterroot i recently purchased and my buying
experience with y'all. the weber was exactly what i wanted - a mando with
impressive volume and tone that plays well and sounds nice up the neck . ..
attractive too. she arrived set up perfectly, of course, and i had absolutely
no hassle regarding the transaction and delivery. fotw has truly earned their
reputation and praise as a group of knowledgable professionals who care about
their business and customers. i look forward to buying from y'all again.

Thanks very much! I just wanted to let you know that I'm VERY happy with both the Bitterroot and the service from your store. You have been very fair and I will always look to you first for all of my future mandolin purchases. It's great to know that there are honest and fair people out there! Thanks again.

Date: Mon, 25 Dec 2000 Hi Mickey, Just wanted to tell you that the Bitteroot arrived on Friday and I haven't been able to put it down since. it is everything I wanted and more! What a deep, resonant tone and what a soft feel on the fingerboard. it's like butter. Thanks again, and a Happy new year to you and yours, Jennifer Michaels

Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2000 Mickey, Just wanted to say, "thanks" for the nice deal on the (Weber) Bitteroot, which came today. It looks, plays and sounds great! It has upstaged the fiddles it hangs on the wall with. Ben

Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 Hello Mickey, I received the Bitterroot on 2/17. WOW! The action that you set is perfect. I really like the appearance, and the tone and volume are great. I don't believe that I will be looking for another mandolin.Will you also contact me when you receive the Flatiron mando that I shipped to you on 2/15. Thanks for everything. Richard

Hello Mickey,

Sorry that I have not responded since I received my mando. Needless to say
it is incredible. I have had my hands on it ever since I got it two weeks
ago. In fact I'm putting it in the show next week on a song that I have
been performing all year except now it will have the sweet sounds of my
mando. I'm going to split some fills with Robert. He has been helping a
bunch and is very encouraging. Alan Bibey is going to start with lessons in
a couple of weeks. It sound awesome! Can't wait for you to hear it. I'll
send you a CD and a video as soon as we get it incorporated. I hope all is
well there. Please send a special thank you to Brian, Suzi, and Shelly for
all their help with getting the funds back to us. Everyone was a great help
and very polite. I can not express my gratitude for all you have done to
help me out. I just hope that I can repay the favor.
