From what I understand a Virzi is some wood put inside a mandolin with the intent of improving tone, but I could be wrong (which is why I'm posting this).
I've read stories about people who have taken expensive mandolins apart to install them and others that have taken expensive mandolins apart to remove them. The inclusion of some additional wood inside what is basically a drum seems counter-intuitive to improving vibrations, but what do I know?
It seems Jim Garber recently acquired a Snakehead with one (https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/t...latey-Goodness) so maybe he can chime in.
Do they work as advertised or are they a waste of a good mandolin?
