Hand-made by Geoff Burghardt in Denver, Colorado
What is the iii? I call this little moniker “triple i.” It stands for... well... Hmm... 3 is the first odd, prime number 3 is an important number associated with various religions The third element on the periodic table is Lithium, a mood stabilizer in the psychology trade Something about there being 3 selves (me/myself/I, id/ego/superego) Earth is the third planet from the sun There are three seasons plus winter (I think that is funny!) There are three general classes of rock The third electron orbital is shaped like a mandolin (OK, that’s not true... or is it?) The third longest word in the english language is: iwantaiiimandolinformybirthday You can see I jest, on occasion. More than anything, the design iii just really caught my eye and I like it and it is easier to cut in pearl than Burghardt. It can mean a lot, but I leave that up to the proud owners of the instruments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mood_stabilizershapeimage_4_link_0
