Re: Cute lil' bowlback on ebay
I don't think the Golden Gate Bridge would get that playable.
It is nice looking with the tiny rosewood bowl and zero fret.
Minimum $470 with shipping?
This will sit around unsold for a long long time.
Maybe forever.
You could spend a lot of time and effort trying to get it playable.
From my experience with a few of these, they call them "pocket" mandolins for a good reason.
They sound as if you are playing a mandolin in your pocket.
I never have really understood these, though I have found them intriguing to look at.
The mandolin is already a pretty small instrument.
If you want something smaller, that's what harmonicas were invented for.
