Amazing wood for a Girouard oval hole

[pheffernan]

I know some people prefer the short neck oval sound, but this mando pleases my ears and that's all the matters.

Yes, Don, I prefer my ovals to be short necked, my bracing to be transverse, and my body style to be A:



But I'm happy you found the one that you prefer. Enjoy it!

Looks and sounds great! My next mandolin may have to be a 2 point...

[Don Grieser]

Thanks! I'm really thrilled with how everything turned out on this mandolin.

I should also mention that Max and Lauri are great to work with. They were very willing to work with me on the neck shape and the tonal characteristics I was hoping for. They delivered on both counts. And Lauri's finish work is just gorgeous. Their mandolins are a huge value these days IMHO. Very happy customer!

Wow, what a beautiful looking and sounding mandolin - congrats Don!

[Mark Gunter]

So cool, Don! Congrats, that's one beautiful instrument in all regards.

The sound of that bog cedar comes through well, Don. I love the punchy fatness of the attack. Looks and sounds like it'll be a great instrument.
