I have seen some information on these instruments, Its more a banjo-mando with a resonator back, but the head is wood (spruce?) with cross braces #rather than tensioned membrane of skin or synthetic, still loud, is what #have gathered.
Anyone actually played one of these rare examples of crossbred mandolin-ness?
They were featured in Mandolin World News a few? years ago, I managed to find a 3rd hand copy of the patent drawing.
Loud was one characteristic description,reported.
