Todaro Mandolin prototype

[mandolute]

I have a new mandolin carved from one piece of wood that I would like to introduce. # Look for the link at the top of my website. #worldfrets.com
For those of you who will attend the summer NAMM show in Nashville please stop by my booth No. 2005 to give it a try.

I posted a link to this thread on the Classical board. That is likely to be the folks who would most be interested in that style of mandolin.

I would love to try one sometime. The problem is that it is non-traditional in terms of bluegrass and in terms of classical construction as well. Then again, if it has a unique or different sound, it could sell.

My other question is: what is the neck joint? It almost looks as if it is carved with the neck and body as one piece. That may present problems in future repairs.

Joe:
I checked your site again and found that you are involved in the Munier Orchestra, so you likely *do* know your market.

Will you have some of these for CMSA convention in November? I assume you will be there?

See you then.

BTW I bought a nice charango from you at one of the Philadelphia Guitar Shows a number of years ago. I still have it and plunk away from time to time.
