Hello! I am a frequent visitor but this is my first thread.
I am a builder currently developing a German-style concert mandolin design. I am particularly inspired by the work of Seiffert, and the many European makers who have developed his ideas.
My question is, would anyone with such an instrument be willing to post sound files, photos, and suggestions/recommendations regarding playability and tone?
I have just completed an instrument using the approximate size and shape I would like to use, but for nylon strings (and fretless! for middle eastern music; like a mini oud). I will post some photos to give you an idea of my style.
Any suggestions help- thanks in advance!
