Bowl-Back Octave Mandolin build
2014年2月5日 · Happy New Year! I just started work on this octave mandolin, and thought I would share the process.

This is the plan and the block-holding jig (part of my assembly method) 112215

Bowl back identification - Mandolin Cafe
2021年4月20日 · Re: Bowl back identification I am agreement with the sage folks above that it is quite possible that this mandolin was built in Catania, Sicily.

Bowl Back mandolin
2013年1月8日 · In my experience, the tone of a bowl-back is very distinctive, and I would seldom mistake it for a flat-back, especially a carved-top flat- (or arched-) back like a Gibson. The canted-top flat-back mandolins, like Martin Style A and B instruments, sound the most like bowl-backs, but even then there seem to be generic differences, at least to my ...
