James' self-made mandola

Written by Dermot on Sunday, 06 September 2009

"This is tuned the same as a cello (CGDA) as opposed to a mandolin (GDAE). I made it myself...it has a Rosewood fingerboard, maple neck, spruce front, rosewood back and sides and spruces braces. The pickup was also handmade. I make and repair instruments for a living."
