Indeed. 21.5 scale. I posted about mine here:

Yes...in the most technical sense. To the naked eye it has a flat top and back, although there is a very subtle 14' radius on top and 25' on back. Max could better explain the logic behind that.
It's a family thing.
Weird. The youtube clip embeds properly with Chrome, but not with Safari. Usually it's Chrome that does poorly on this site.

And before someone asks how it sounds, here's a short clip. My apologies as this beautiful instrument deserves to be demo'd by a Matt Witler-type ala TME.
Cedar top, mahogany back and sides,...
One night in summer 2017 as I laid in bed, I emailed Max with a proposition to build a tenor guitar. Through some repair and set-up work he'd done for me before, I had already developed a real...
That looks great. Could you post a pic of the finished back? The build pics in your IG showed some nice figure. Enjoy that beauty.
Gorgeous! I really like the off-kilter two-point. Thanks for sharing.
Charles, I'd love to see it when completed. The Campanellas, particularly the Due, are my current infatuation. But until someone hands me a $6k gift card to music emporium, I'll just enjoy the...
Does anyone know of other mandolin builders that build in violin style like this?
Jordan - did you also record the audio with a phone? It sounded great. Mind if I ask the type of phone?
Thanks all - good advice.
Hello,
I'm sure this has been discussed plenty, but the search terms are too generic to find anything useful.
I've built up a repertoire of 40 or so fiddle tunes, and instead of adding more,...
Sorry for the late reply - I was really struggling to add photos, but I think I found out that it's not possible to do so from the Chrome browser on an Android phone.
It's hard to tell, but if I...
Hi Rob - I actually just bought a hard case for my MW-0 earlier this spring. I got the Superior CD-1521 Deluxe Hardshell A-Model Mandolin Case. It fits really snug and the padding seems pretty...
And how does she sound?
Thanks, folks. This is just the info I needed.
@bigskygirl - thanks for the links. I added the banjoben tune to my to-do list.
@bohemianbaker - I think chord melody is exactly what I was...
Here is one example of what I'm talking about - but this may be out of my league. I'm looking for a intro tune to attempt this style.

Good evening folks,
I've been spending the past few years building up my repertoire of standard fiddle tunes, mostly melodies based on quarter and eight notes.
I'd like to learn a few tracks...
I agree I'd opt for paypal. As a seller, would it be customary for me to receive the paypal transmission prior to mailing the mandolin, or send it first and hope to receive the payment?
I've been planning to make my first post to sell my first mandolin (upgrading). It sounds like a trustworthy system, but how does it work? Once buyer/seller agree, who makes the first move? I was...
