I admit it - I am a big time mandolin fan. There is something about the small size of the instrument that makes it fun to build and play. I can also use scraps left over from larger projects to hold down the cost. Unlike the Ukulele, I feel like I have a “real” instrument in my hands when I am done (sorry to you uke fans - I don’t mean to slam your choice). The Jazz Guitar Mandolin in the photo gallery is my most recent completion.
