Chris, how many mandos have you made over the years? That's your "specialty," right? I put that in quotes because, well, you can obviously make anything!

Hardly a specialty. This’ll be my 3rd in the family.

1 mandolin


1 mandola


and this will be an octave mando.

Sorry, Chris. I had mandolins in my head... . Those other ones of yours are really gorgeous!

So, an octave mando means each course is octaves, or is it just specific ones?

It’s just an octave lower than the regular mandolin. Usually paired in the same octave, like it’s tinier sibling, but sometimes the lower two courses are in octaves.

"fer fat fingers"

The shipping box the case came in was too small for any appropriate padding so I had to use a more accommodating sized one.

After all, it's only fitting.

Are we going to see you build a mando-bass in the future?

On commission or speculation?

Speculation or curiosity or whatever life throws to @AcornHouse

That would depend on a commission. If the trend continues, I would think a mandocello would be first.

I like the sound of Mandocellos.

I need to grow out my thumbnail though.

Thumbnails are useful playing rumba.

I've played along with a few Rumba backing tracks. They're fun. I tend to try and improve over them, with mixed results.
