Anyone know who makes these mandolins? there has been one popping up for sale for a while with this marker, just curious as i have never came across the mark before

When you don't have the cash to buy the mandolin you want when you see it

You then get the cash and can not find it for sale anywhere.

:crying: :))

In other news i did contact the luthier...

I am in Scotland so i get "that wee banjo thingy" alot hahah

Thanks for the replies, found it a bit strange that it had a volume knob on it.

It looks very ugly when attached also

Hi folks.

Just wondering if you have to run one of these through a preamp? I notice there is a volume control on the side mount jack but wondering if its good enough to use as is, live.

Thanks

Was asked to do a bit of research into one of these which my mate has then a month later another friend found one in a house after a family death.

Thanks for the info, so you a reckon thew Artec wont fit it? it was the ME2 version i was going to go for

Just arrived last week, and i must say i am very surprised at how nice is it to play for the price($400).

I got one with a hardcase for £139 on ebay which would appear to be a bargain.

thanks Tim, i am 99.9% sure the ovation is right for me, both price wise and the fact they are fairly hardened instruments. Now just to track one down in Scotland or the UK

it was the american one i had a go on in spain, i believe the guy paid around 1000euros which i reckon nwould be about right for the instrument in such a farflung island

hopefully i will be able...
