    Default Nava Mandola

    I've just completed this mandola; it was commissioned to match one of my Standard mandolins that the client bought a couple of years ago.


    There are photos and a full spec on my blog;

    Beautiful looking and sounding! I really like the proportions, the 13th fret joint, and the slightly longer scale!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Sounds very good Gary. What's the body depth?
