In 2012 at the Galax Fiddlers Convention, a record was set for the largest group of mandolin players to convene in one setting. Organized by Tara Linhart, the event dreiw 389 mandolin pickers of all ages. This new record lasted for only a month when a group in Greece claimed 414 mandolinists. But the record was broken one more time at Galax in 2015 by 493 people, thanks to Tara's hard work and direction. I'm not sure if the record set in 2015 still stands.
