    Default Tone guard for Mandola

    Does anyone know if a tone guard is made that will fit my Weber A Style mandola?
    I think my mandola projects more when I consciously do not rest it against my body.
    I use one on my KM-950 with good results but found no improvement on my Stiver.
    Mandolas come in so many shapes and sizes I think it may be difficult to find a fit.

    I have one on my Bitterroot A dola. Works well and fits in the Weber case with the guard attached.

    Contact Tony. I got one for my 1921 H1 and it's perfect.

    Yes, ask Tony. He supplied one for my Collings off the peg.

    T Y. I did contact Tony and he has a fit. Appreciate the suggestions. I should have gone to the source right off.

    Another enthusiastic, two-thumbs-up endorsement of Tony and his willingness to get you the Tone-Gard that you need. He made one for my Lawrence Smart mandola and it's perfect!!
