Carbon Fiber mandolin, Adam Buchwald and Circle Strings
Adam has posted a couple of ads in the Cafe classifieds for an F-bodied carbon fiber mandolin. It looks nice, as far as I can tell from the pic, but I didn't see any links to audio samples. His write-up noted that he had a couple of nibbles but no bites yet.
I'm interested to see another effort into making carbon fiber mandolins. I have a carbon fiber CA Guitars Bluegrass Performer guitar that I like a lot and have been hoping that carbon fiber would take off in the mandolin world. I know it must be a daunting venture, considering the high cost of building carbon fiber instruments as well as the challenge of selling to the traditional preferences of many mandolin players.
I wish him luck!
