Here is the new version of the pocket mandolin. 13" scale, Sitka soundboard, Tasmanian Huon pine side and back and Tasmanian blackwood for the neck and the internal structure for the tuners (which are Rubner from Germany). It is about 1/2" longer than the first one which gives it a little more sound, though it is still pretty quiet, and the larger half-round brass block on the end makes it easier to tune. It has extra light GHS A240 strings on it, though it occurred to me that the mando tuning nylon uke strings might be an option. The back is a press-fit in place and pops off with a finger through the end. Only half fills a ukulele gig bag
