Re: Mandolins in progress
The look is very clean and precise, could we call it 21st Century Art Nouveau. Your original dragon and any similarly art inspired apertures could be as special to your look as scrolls are to our classic F5.
Aside from visual appeal once players move into the intermediate stage of playing they are more sensitive to a more sonically active instrument often forsaking their beloved scroll to afford one. We all know the experience, you play a new to you instrument and it seems to come alive the way it vibrates and sings in comparison to your stiffer less sonically active instrument you've become accustomed to. If your instruments can do that in a new and interesting way you'll be a very busy builder.
