Here's what Bluett Bros. customers have to say about their instruments!

"Getting Mark to build my mandolin was the most fun I have ever had buying an instrument. Mark took the time to talk with me about every aspect in constructing my mandolin. Consequently I ended up with a mandolin that has everything I would ever want/need in any mandolin at any cost. The appearance is one of a kind thanks to Mark wanting my input on the design and the best tone I have ever heard thanks to Marks ability to voice this mandolin to the sound I dreamed in my head. Thanks Mark!"
- Steve Greer, Washington, D.C.

"I looked for a long time and spoke with many luthiers hoping to find one to build my dream mandolin and a very special guitar for my wife. The two instruments you built me are both works of art as much as they are musical instruments. I have never seen better workmanship, more beautiful woods, and inlays on any instruments. The playability of these instruments is wonderful and the tone of each is exactly what I wanted; rich, complex, and balanced. Thank you for being a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend your instruments to anyone."
-Rev. Raymond Payne, Russell, Kentucky

"This is the only instrument I ever bought without playing it first and have no regrets whatsoever. It looks like it sat in a case for 80 years but sounds like it has been played every day of those years. Couldn't be happier with it."
- Mick Meinsler, Harrisburg, PA

"I got my F5 mandolin in December 2002. There has never been a moment of disappointment-- in fact, the more time I spend with it the more I'm amazed. Beautiful tone and stain. Even my non-musician friends can tell I'm playing something special, they can hear the difference! The neck feels perfect in my hand - the fingerboard is slightly radiused and I can chop a G chord all night without cramping up. I can honestly say this is my last mandolin. Thanks, Mark!"
- Gena Hartley, LaPlata, Maryland

"This fiddle is so even, so smooth and loud - it's a dream to play!"
- Bob Buckingham, Red Lion, PA

"You are The MAN!! - it's the best mandolin I've ever heard"
- Kevin Easter, Claudeville, VA

"My violin sounds incredible and it keeps getting better!"
- Todd Clewell, Felton, PA

"I recently had the privilege of playing one of your mandolins. It belongs to a friend of mine who also lives in Mississippi. I was very impressed. The mandolin had a great feel, great look, great volume and great tone."
- Kenneth Dawsey, Picayune, MI

"I promised my wife that this is the last violin I'm ever going to want."
- John Caldwell, Lancaster, PA

"My Bluett F4 Mandolin is the best - I'm recommending it to my friends."
- Douglass Williams, Durham, NC

"When I received my Bluett fiddle it was even better than when I tried it out at the MerleFest."
- Michael Thornburgh, Stone Mt., GA

"What a great sound. I wouldn't trade it for anything & I have had offers to trade for Gibson F5s straight up! Everybody that knows mandolins says it's one of the best they've ever heard."
- Tom Benson, mandolinist Dyer Switch Band
