Company history

JBovier Stringed Instruments was founded in 2005, when founder and designer Jeff Cowherd first began selling JBovier instruments out of his own small shop, Mandolins & More, in Walton, KY. Jeff's goal was to produce a professional-quality mandolin that was affordable for serious players like himself, but who didn't necessarily have deep pockets.[1] As of 2013 the instruments are produced in China then shipped back to Jeff where he finishes them.
