    Default Building a baroque mandolino

    Hello Mandolin Cafe, -trying to reproduce the Gualzatta mandolino, 1725, -in the MFA
    Boston.



    Ive collected all the dimensions I can get ahold of and constructed a mold for the body. Im using Koa but Im not trying for a perfect “museum piece”, just an accurate reproduction of the historic instrument.
    Here’s some pictures of the start, comments and help is appreciated.

    I got to see this at the MFA a few years back when they had an instrument display. It was a truly beautiful instrument... Excited to see you take this journey!
