Some of the features seen on old instruments are interesting.
The obvious feature here is the fret board extending across the
sound hole. If I see it right there are 25 frets for the E-string.
Though I don't know the scale length on this instrument, that
would put the note at F7, about 2800 Hz, on normal GDAE tuning.
I tried picking on my mandolin. I can get a pure ping up to
fret 17 if I push carefully. Do you think playing up to fret 25
would be useful for some players or styles or special effects?
