Re: Brescian Mandola inspired by an 1805 illustration
That's beautiful David. Of course I'm biased, but I love the old roo & emu penny and the timbers. How does the Huon pine top sound? I know it's been used successfully in guitars, but I've never tried it myself.

Thanks, Tom. First off, it is strung with nylon so I can only compare it to some of the other Brescian mandolins that I have built. I guess what I notice most is the quick decay of the tone. It is hard to describe the tone...just different.

Quick decay of the tone? Would that indicate that the Huon is softer than spruce?

I really don't Know, Joe. It is very dense and I worked it pretty thin. It is not objectionable, just different than spruce.
