James Condino

Mandolin Magazine columnist, Fine Woodworking author, regular AL contributor, and GAL presenter, James Condino has been building instruments for over forty years. He’s also a serious outdoorsman who guides whitewater expeditions and takes fine guitars and mandolins to volcanic summits. He survived Hurrican Helene, but a quarter of the town of Asheville did not.
