Thread: Octave mandriola?

  1. #1

    Default Octave mandriola?

    I came across this in my idle wanderings, not in the market to buy myself. Hard to say what the builder intended it as, maybe a 12 string guitar judging by the nut, so not really a mandriola. I suppose someone looking to work on their luthiery skills might be interested, conceptually it has some interesting design elements even if the execution might not have been so good.

    I like the seller's notes, to wit “This Golf Club comes with an almost new Crossline Midsize Lamkin Grip.Light wear, exactly as shown.”

    Is he/she suggesting a best use for this instrument?

    At least 3 or 4 different instruments, all merged into one. I guess that is what creeps from a luthier's radioactive junkyard at night. What puzzles me is that half cutaway beside the soundhole.

    Decent 12-string trapeze tailpieces are rare, and that's a bunch of Grover tuners for luthier or repair-person.

    Otherwise, amateur weirdness.
