    Question Compare notes on bowl back mandolins

    Hi,
    I recently acquired a bowl backed mandolin made in Naples late 1800s-early 1900s.
    I would like to compare and exchange information with others who have similar mandolins.
    Regards
    Derek

    Hi Derek,

    Welcome to the Loyal Order of the Bowl.

    There's a dedicated thread here Bowlbacks of Note where we've been holding conversations about bowlbacks of note, and some not of note.

    We would welcome you joining in.

    Post some photos of your new / old Neapolitan mandolin there and you are sure to get the conversation started.

    Mick

    I have several bowlbacks, what do you want to know? I am hardly an expert (and there are a lot of people more knowledgeable than I am on here,) but I will answer what I can.
