Re: Finnish loggers playing unidentified 12-string F-mandolin 192
It reminds me of the lump-scroll Gibson f-style copies made in very small numbers by the Windsor banjo company of Birmingham, England. They were probably experimenting with diversifying into mandolins when the banjo craze was dying down in the 1930s. Those guys look like sailors so might have picked one up in a UK port town.
