Well it's been a while....
Well it's been a while since I've built an instrument. Still has a bit of finessing to go, the finish could be rubbed out, the bone work refined, a replacement E (on order from Aquila) but it plays well and has met the design ideas.
Sitka spruce top, Tassie blackwood B&S and bindings, 4 strings by Aquila. Im calling it "Luce di mandolina a quattro corde". Synthetic strings are better for me as the dermatitis and psoriasis keep robbing me of finger pads. Design wise it meant lightening the whole design and putting the saddle onto the soundboard. I have really missed building instruments..."We must never become callous. When we experience the conflicts ever more deeply we are living in truth. The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil." - Albert Schweizer
