Dr. Ralph Stanley admires the crafstmanship of Nathan Stanley’s mandolin, one of the first Stanley Tones produced by Hill Mandolins
Nothing moves me more than hearing the fine sounds of a good instrument in the
hands of a musician.
My grandson, Nathan, proudly plays one of the first Stanley Tones produced by
Hill Mandolins.
I like to think we are spreading our traditions from our hills to the rest of the world. We’re glad folks are listening!
