This review is from: 8 String Banjo Mandolin

This seems like a nice instrument. It is also heavy so if you get attacked it might make a good club. It is rather loud so I found myself tuning it an octave lower than normal which turned out to be a bad deal.

I originally had the bridge in the center of the head but then I noticed a picture with it further down. This did not work out well so I measured several of my mandolins with 'f' holes and found that the length from the nut to the bridge was about 14 inches which puts the bridge back in the center of the head.

It seems to be well made and attractive with a good action. It will fit in an A type mandolin case but just barely. The case for it has a nice piece in the lid to cushion the head so I would suggest buyint the case.
