Philosophy

  JUST A FEW THOUGHTS I WANTED TO SHARE …

 If I asked you what comes to mind when you think of a guitar , what would you say? Flat-top? Classical or Steel string? Maybe it’s an Archtop ? Maybe an Electric? Or , maybe it’s not even a guitar…hmm.?

 What if I asked you what comes to mind when you think of a mandolin ? … Do you see where I’m going with this?

Although the F-5 is no doubt the Reigning KING of Mandolin design, I do feel there is room for exploration in both the visual and acoustic aesthetic of the instrument as a whole.

 This is the Challenge that inspires me – to build beautiful sounding mandolins , that intrigue the eye as well as the ear . Instruments built as individual entities , Instruments that inspire creativity
