Hey guys,
Sorry if this has been posted earlier, but i am also currently trying to find a neapolitan mandolin, as i have just began playing. I am classical trained in violin, but have gotten interested in the mandolin sound. I have found it difficult to get ballpark estimates on these rare italian mandolins, and was wondering if icould get some insight from you experts. Im sure there are many modern day makers, but none of their sites ever have pricing. Im interested in a Pandini, but havnt been able to find much information on it besides that Carlo Aonzo plays one and loves it. what is the process for these famous luthiers, do they only build by commission, or do they distribute their instruments. Being in America, there are F-styles and A-styles everywhere, but it is harder to find information on these Bowlbacks. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks guys. Also sorry, if the question of price is too personal. haha i just need some idea! thanks again.
