“Bob Mummert was one of the kindest, most gentle people I’ve ever known. He was a great musician but an even greater man. Everyone who knew him loved him. He will be missed in our music community. Prayers for Lisa and all of his grieving family.” - Ricky Skaggs

“The most famous mandolin in the world is Bill Monroe's Gibson F5, signed by Lloyd Loar on July the 9th, 1923.

He was inspired by Bill Monroe and Pee Wee Lambert, the two most popular mandolin players of the day, but took what he had learned and made his own unique style of mandolin playing. Besides being a great musician and singer, he was one of the kindest  people I’ve ever met. I loved him very much. He was a...
