Bitterroot Mandola

  1. Eddie Sheehy
    My Bitterroot Mandola arrived today. A beautiful Hog with a Spruce face. The resonance and sustain are incredible. With just a little side-bend a note goes on forever. A joy to play, a joy to hold. This my sixth Weber and the only one I have now. The others were: Tamarack Mandocello, Big Sky Octave Mandolin, Gallatin Mandola, Absaroka Mandolin, Vintage Oval... not to mention my flat-irons and a Gibby 5L with Bruce's signature...

    I put TI 174M's on the Mandola but so far have only tuned it up to Bb F C G... It should go up to CGDA without causing problems... right? I mean with the 17" scale-length and all.... Too bad Thomastik don't write the string gauges on the sleeves...

    Eddy- I gave Bruce your post above and he said 'it should be fine and let us know how you like them'.
