My new model of Mandolin is finally ready. The idea was to produce the woody bass of an American mandolin and add the strong treble of an English one. It's all worked out rather well. Sound samples by Andy Seagroat soon.
Looking good Mr NKF, how do they sound? Other than woody + bright that is, do they sound big or small, dose one need to belt TF out of it for acceptable volume? Also where could a guy try one. £€$? email me. I'm in the market for a mandolin. Got the money for the instruments I'm thinking of, now saving for a try before I buy round trip.

Re: Mandolins
Very nice looking, although I would like to see the headstock, too.
That's pretty wide at the nut, but I might like that. Hope to hear a sample soon.
