Since 2013, I've focused mostly on building acoustic guitars. However, I still enjoy building other instruments... One of the main principles of my building...regardless of the instrument, is to make the sides as stiff as possible. As a matter of fact, the sides & neck of my mandolin are one solid piece (no bent wood)... I had completed 51 instruments when I came to find out that this style of construction is similar to an early mandolin design by Orville Gibson!
