A 14.75 inch scale length mandolin, strung up yesterday morning.

Engelmann Spruce and River Oak, Blackwood binding. Neck is Sipo Mahogany, with a ziricote fingerboard with ebony binding. Rubner tuners. Osmo PolyX 3011 finish.

H bracing, following Graham McDonald's book, and using a 3 meter induced curve front and back.

Aiming for improvement with each build! Happy with tone and playability, just have to get someone who knows how to play to record a sound sample (or overcome my fear of showing my limited skills in this regard!)

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

newdave: I was disappointed too but I don't think I'll really feel it until next year, when it will suddenly become all too real. Nov 8, 2024 19:52:53 GMT
