A new mandolin build for a local Vermont picker from the Muleskinner Instruments shop!
A style mandolin with oval-hole. Engelmann spruce top, European maple back and sides and Koa bindings.
The musician this was made for came to me asking for me to build her a mandolin, to which I enthusiastically said "yes!". Then she asked if it could be purple and I scratched my head...but was up for the challenge and am very happy with the results.
I did a purple stain on the back and sides and sprayed a reddish-purple sunburst for the top.
Very sweet and mellow tone. Link to demo on Youtube below:
