The measure of any product is the satisfaction and endorsement of it's customers. Read for yourself some of the following recent testimonials of satisfied JBovier owners:  Shayne Bartley, mandolin player for Karl Shifflet, now exclusively plays a JBovier F5 “Shayne Bartley” model for recording and performing. Shayne has been a member of “The Big Country Show” since 2003. He plays mandolin and sings lead/harmony vocals. Shayne has been playing music most of his life and plays banjo and guitar as well. He has worked with many other bands in the business including Dave Evans, Charlie Sizemore, The Rarely Herd, The True Grass band and Unlimited Tradition.
 Elmer Burchett, Jr, performs with Pine Mountain Railroad using a JBovier F5 and a JBovier banjo. Both instruments can be heard on the new Pine Mountain Railroad CD. Elmer has also played with Lou Reid, Ronnie Bowman, Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, David Parmley, Dale Ann Bradley, Clyde & Marie Denny, Gary Brewer, Mountain Heart, Rambler's Choice, Wyatt Rice, and Santa Cruz.
"First, thanks for the setup with the action low, etc. I put Thomastiks on and raised the bridge some with good results. As expected the guys at Fretted Instruments in Birmingham accused me of stealing another mandolin (cost wise). Jeff, I've got over 20 good mandolins and I'd put this one up against any of them. The workmanship, tone, sound and playability are really good. I'm wondering if I already sent a report from my computer at work cause it seems I've said all this so many times. I like my Collins MT, Parsons A, Weber Gallatins(2), Yellowstone, Mann A, Davids and others. (I've got a beautiful blond Eastman that sounds tinny, even after the voodoo stuff.) Right now the JBovier is what I practice on and plan to take for any playing I may do any time soon. I played next to a Gilchrist Tuesday and held my own in every respect (no shame). Thank you for picking out a fine looking and playing instrument for me. I'm a very satisfied customer." - TP
 "I received my JBovier on Monday and it is everything you said it would be. The satin finish is beautiful and the tone and action are great. I love the way it sounds - it has a full rich tone that I never thought I could get for an “F” style mandolin. My mandolin teacher was very impressed and when he heard the price, he asked for your contact info. He thought it was a great deal. It plays great, I don't even miss my flat wound strings on it, and I am really glad I upgraded. Thanks for recommending it." - Kevin
"...I got her !and W0W! I am impressed. Very loud, very easy to play...much more comparable to the Phoenix than she is to the Gallatin. She is much prettier than I was expecting too... this is the 2nd/utility/knockaround mando that i have been searching for. The sound is quite impressive when compared against ...the 2 MKs that I have tried. It certainly does NOT have that tinny, constricted sound of many "entry level" mandos (or the Rigel Q95 that i tried). The action is perfect,...and the travellite case is fantastic." - Joel  "Hi...I met you at SPBMA in Nashville a couple of weeks ago and bought one of your mandolins for my son to learn on. He and I both are enjoying the instrument and wanted to send you a picture of him with it. His name is Robbie Johnston, Ellisville Mississippi. He is 10 years old and just began to get interested in playing a mandolin so I wanted to buy a quality instrument at a reasonable price. Thanks to you I found both. Thanks," - Frank Johnston
 "...I really like Rusty Butterfly (Vine model) alot. It is a keeper. I will play it with pride. My band members know alot more about craftsmanship than I do and they say it is really really well made. Our fiddle player just bought a mandolin that he loves, but he says mine is way better. He should have waited. Our banjo player is very critical of anything that isn't a Gibson or a Martin or a few other high up there names. He is very impressed. I love the sound and the beauty speaks for itself. My hat is off to JBovier. Great piece of work. Thanks so much for your great service and workmanship. Once this name gets out look for a booming business. I'm glad I got to be a part it's beginning. The price was great. Thanks for everything." - Carolyn Vigers
 "The JBovier arrived on Monday. Thanks for setting it up and getting it to me so quickly. The setup was perfect, I'm really impressed with it. Plays real nice, and the tone and volume are comparable to a lot of expensive mando's. I will definetly be using it for gigs, it sounds and plays good right out of the box. Intonation is perfect all the way up the neck. I'm very satisfied. Thanks again." - Sam
"Had the opurtunity to compare a couple JBovier mandolins (at High Strung Music, Springfield, MO) to a couple Eastman mandolins… and the JBovier won hands down. I've played several at your booth the past couple years at SPBGMA and have been very impressed for the investment."00- John Amann  Don Wilson, who plays with a local group "Joyful Noise" says: "i give JBovier a 5-star rating. This mandolin is one fine instrument. It produces a great sound, stays in tune, cristal clear notation in all positions, and best of all is you can aford one. the price is right... save your marriage, go JBovier."
I traveled from Frankfort, KY to select from twelve recent JBovier F-Model arrivals. I chose one and am very, very satisfied. It’s the first F-model that I've owned with this kind of tone and volume. I feel like I got one of those once in a life time deals. I highly suggest taking a look at the JBovier. Shayne Bartley (a pro player) bought one recently after not being impressed with the bigger names he'd looked at. This mandolin out shined the other imports I've played.00- Glenn Hurley  "I bought a JBovier Jerusalem Ridge edition mandolin fromyou at the Jerusalem Ridge bluegrass festival. It is a great instrument. It plays really good and sounds even better. Thanks a bunch!" - John from West Virginia
 The little beauty came yesterday and she sounds sweet as ever - if not sweeter (than at NAMM)! It's like a new girlfriend, I can't take my hands off'n her! Thanks so much, a pleasure dealing with you, Jeff. –Will Patton
 I have to say your mandolins are really great stuff. I showed it to my mando teacher who endorses and also recommends Eastman instruments and he was positively surprised about the high quality and the great looks of the Vine. The sound is loud and barky but also warm and deep. That is why I preferred it to an Eastman 515. I really enjoy it and can't let my fingers off it. Best regards. – Jörn Erdmann, Germany
 Thought we would send you our testimonials (below). Also, my mandolin instructor at the Pick'n'Grin in Knoxville really thought it was great and has already mentioned to the owners that they should consider carrying the JBovier.
– Sue Nevedal
The JBovier is a great mandolin, I love mine! It will stand up to many higher end mandolins in tone, power and looks...and the price is right! Jeff was super to work with and very accommodating. Well worth the drive to Walton,KY. – Anna U. Denison, Knoxville, TN
