    Punch Bros posted this on Facebook today. I've listened to the new album a few times through but not close enough to pull out which song he uses this on.

    Any guesses or insight?

    I think it's made by Lawrence Smart.

    Hard to tell from the photo.. however the headstock does appear to read "The Flatiron" based on some other samples I can compare to. However, can't say I've seen a subburst finished one like his..

    The bouzouki is a flatiron, or at least he use to have one. I'm not sure about the mandola, but thought it was a Smart.

    Here's a photo of his Smart mandola when it was new, about 10 years ago.

    "Few noises are so disagreeable as the sound of the picking of a mandolin."
