Thread Name: Bill Monroe's mandolin sold for $22,000
Subject: RE: Bill Monroe's mandolin sold for $22,000

This isn't The mandolin. This is one of Monroe's backups. THE mandolin (Gibson F-5 Master model, serial number 73987, 1923, signed by Lloyd Loar, played daily for at least fifty years) was sold a year ago to a foundation for huge price.
