All of my mandolins feature hand carved and voiced soundplates for optimal tone and volume. The necks are all carved by my hand for the comfort of your hand. Custom nut widths and neck profiles are always available to best suit your needs. My instruments are assembled with fresh hot hide glue and finished with all natural resin varnishes.
