Nestled between two cascading streams, high on the slopes of a rugged mountainside in the heart of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, Mann's workshop has been turning out high quality pieces for decades.
He has spent most of his life meticulously designing and handcrafting Musical Instruments, Furniture, Woodcarvings, Sculpture, Cabinetry, Marquetry, Inlays, Weaving Looms, and all sorts of other useful or artistic projects. In his "spare time," he sketches, draws, and paints in watercolors and oils. Mann is an accomplished and highly acclaimed musician, as well, with several albums to his credit.
At the time of this writing, Mann is currently painting a commissioned piece of an Old Homestead for a customer. He is also in the process of hand-carving a variety of projects for later sale. In addition, Mann is deep in the design phase of building 5-String Violins, as well as Octave Violins, both acoustic and electric.
