Mandolins
Having spent a ten year period as a gigging mandolin player I have become very aware of the needs of a modern mandolin player. I build Mandolins that have the power and tonal range to hold their own in any situation. The Mandolins I build have a deep soft V neck profile and are designed to be ergonomically suitable to any style of playing.
