My name is Jericho, I'm from Virginia and I am thrilled to now own a Weber Gallatin. My journey as a mandolin player has only begun, as of a year ago when I picked it up for the first time. I was a die-hard bass player until I really got into bluegrass or new grass, as well as country music. I heard Nickel Creek's Chris Thile in concert playing his mandolin and I became intrigued by its unique sound and versatility. Now, it's all I ever play. I started out by learning on cheaper-built mandolins to just get the feel for it, and then just last month my wife bought me a Gallatin for an early birthday present. I had been eyeing the Gallatin and other Weber mandolins ever since I listened to Haley Dyke's tracks on her website - she plays a Bridger F. It just stuck with me and I wanted to learn more about them. Now that I actually own one, it's really a dream come true! I hope to continue playing the mandolin, and one day be able to afford a top-of-the-line Weber. It's safe to assume they are the only mandolins I'll play from now on. I can't wait to get another one
