One Day Reminder: The IBMA Foundation is raffling off the last Z Mandolin made of Carbon Fiber Materials ever to be made. Raffle tickets are now on sale.

The Strings For Dreams Raffle will end on Thursday, May 13 and the drawing will be held on May 14. For more information and to purchase raffle tickets, visit the foundation’s Raffle Web Page.

The Z Mandolin is a beautifully handcrafted work of art and a modern take on the classic F-Style mandolin, a fully custom design inspired by traditional instruments. Advanced carbon-fiber materials produce an instrument that is lightweight, durable, and less susceptible to dents, cracks or scratches than wooden stringed instruments. The Z Mandolin is an ideal tool for the modern musician’s needs. Its carbon-fiber body is resistant to changes in humidity and temperature, making it easy to travel with and easy to keep in tune. It comes equipped with an elegant, custom-designed Calton Case, featuring a beautiful, pure white exterior and stunning pink interior. The case is rugged and road-tested, yet stylish and sophisticated.

The Northern California Bluegrass Society is a longtime organizational member of the International Bluegrass Music Association, which is affilated with the IBMA Foundation. NCBS President Michael Hall is a member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors.
