A look back at an era of American Musical History when Mandolin Orchestras were "All The Rage," through the lens of my Great Grandfather's Mandolin Orchestra; "The Adams Plectrum Society", "The Gibsonians", or "The Gibson-ites." Joseph Ivers my Great Grandfather was a Mandolin Teacher and Gibson Mandolin Company Agent.

Remarkable Collection of Gibson Mandolin Family Instruments
I spotted this great photo on the Mandolin Central website. What an incredible collection, including the original cases. A complete "Everyone A Gibsonite" set of instruments ready to go.
Very nice! I understand the accomplishment and appreciate the challenge of putting together such a family reunion. Congratulations! Paul Ruppa
