Owner- Nancy Cardwell Nashville, TN

This Wynn was built in 1992 and has a beautiful Birdseye Maple back and Western Red Cedar top that was glued together and planed by Nancy's late husband Frank Erdos, a bluegrass musician and luthier. The Birdseye Maple back has a strip of Holly down the center, this wood was given to Frank by Ellis Truett a close family friend from Tennessee. Frank died of cancer in March 1989 before the mandolin could be completed. Nancy had John Wynn go ahead and finish it for her. Nancy's name is written inside the instrument, the inlay of the planet Saturn is on the peghead.

When Jim saw this mandolin he knew he wanted it and so he bought it. At the time he named it "Baby Wynn." It is made of Ozarks Sassafras and Jim has added an electric pickup (blasphemy) to this instrument. Jim loves his Baby Wynn and is proud to know he owns one of only two in existance.
