Ok so I've just ordered my first custom-buildt instrument!
A lute-mandola (a type of mandola developed in Sweden by Ale Möller and the instrument builders Ådin & Ekvall)
I talked to Ådin yesterday, and even though I haven't decided on the details yet (did I say details? More like...will I have one in CGDAE or CGDAEH...pretty big detail!) it will be in my hands in six months! It will feature minimum five point capos (an excellent new swedish invention!), but I'm thinking of having extra point capos so that I can play with hardanger fiddles who are commonly tune in H (or B as you would say...), and it will have three extra frets for quarter tones.
Anyway...It will look something like this:
Confused? Well if you're interested I'll tell yo more about it...but for now I'll keep my mouth shut in case you're not interested at all
