Mandola

This is my current mandola design and spec for this particular instrument.

410mm scale length; neck/body joint at 13^th fret.

35mm nut width.

Maple neck with walnut laminations, carbon fibre inserts.

Sitka spruce soundboard with bound sound hole.

Black walnut back and sides fully bound in maple.

Indian rosewood fretboard, compound radius, wide gold evo frets.

Rosewood bridge with bone saddle.

Handmade Nava designed tailpiece.

This mandola was commissioned to match Standard Mandolin V.

If you are interested in commissioning your own mandola, you’ll find contact details etc on my website.

English Walnut and Sitka Spruce with Headway transducer fitted

Adrian's Trio

Here is a collection of matching instruments; a tenor mandola, an octave mandolin and an Irish bouzouki. All three were built for the same musician, the mandola and OM in 2013 and the ‘zouk in 2014. They all match each other, the only difference being, that the extra-long ‘zouk’s neck is made from maple whereas the other two are from sapele. All three have Headway undersaddle transducers.
