... diabolical! - been tinkering with a set of flat-head pliers all evening and it still doesn't fit!
i notice that anthony hannagan's mandolin (no rim-pac import, to be sure) is coverless as well.
It does sound good. I noted while watching the video that you seemed to be using an interesting pick. I can see something in your picking hand. What kind of pick is that???

it's called a risha or mizrap ... or a thin strip of plastic in my case - used for playing oud:

aside from the "hudson guitar company" inlay on the peghead, there's nothing to indicate who/what/why/when or where about this mandolin ... no sticker inside the sound chamber ... no serial number ... no nuttin' ...
don't know if i should feel relieved by this lack of information or bereft.
