Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a mandolin that looks like a cross between a classic jazz archtop
and a Selmer-style gypsy jazz guitar...with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a mando with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the Django system. They wouldn't know what a mandolin is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a Draleon Royale ...with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call an F-5?
Vincent: Well, an F-5's a F-5, but they call it Le F-5.
Jules: Le F5. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a banjo?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King. But you know what they put on mandolins in Holland instead of
J-74's?
JULES: What?
VINCENT: Flatwound JM-11's
JULES: Get outta here!
VINCENT: I seen 'em do it man!
JULES: Uuccch!
Here are a few pictures of the Royale prototype that I bought from Steve Perry at Gianna Violins.
