Subject: Rigel G-110 Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for getting My Rigel G-110 out so quickly. It
arrived yesterday around noon. It's fabulous, I'm in
love with it already. Great mandolin at a very good
(unbeatable) price. Good luck with the business!
Best,

Tim

Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2000 Mickey, I received my Rigel mandolin today and it is everything you said it would be, and everything I hoped it would be. Even though I had pretty much made up my mind on a Rigel, your confirmation that it would be ideal for the kind of stuff I play (Jazz) was right on the money. Thanks. I've played music, bought, sold and traded instruments most of my life. I have never had a fairer, squarer deal, ever. It's not easy to give up a vintage piece that you've had for a long time but the deal you offered me made it absolutely painless. I know that my new mandolin is much better suited for my purposes. Thanks again. My best to you, Rick Breeden.

Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 Hey Mickey, Just wanted to drop a line to let you know how much I appreciate doing business with you. Every transaction was a breeze and everything was as promised. The Rigel is an absolute joy, I can hardly put it down, much to the chagrin of my wife(who does now have a potter's wheel!) I will definitely recommend you and plug you whenever possible. Good luck with your production projects. I am sure they will be first class, informative and helpful to the student. You will be the one I contact for all my future acoustic needs. Sincerely, Tim Winey
