Re: Stefan Sobell mandolins and other instruments
This is my Sobell Octave Mandola, bought through a small-ad in Gumtree of all places. I’ve never seen another for sale and to find one six miles from me was too much of a fortunate coincidence to allow it to escape. It was also at an amazingly low price and I consider it a great bargain - the seller knew the value of it but wanted it to go to a home where it would get played more often. It’s about 20 years old and came in a nice tight-fitting case - in which it stays when not being used. All my other instruments hang around my study walls; this one doesn’t. It’s mint and if it ever gets marked I’ll cry. The tone is superb, not as forgiving as my Fylde but a real quality sound.
"Danger! Do Not Touch!" must be one of the scariest things to read in Braille....
