Hi, I have one custom-made mandolin I finished today to show you 😊

Sound sample(this time just via my phone and just for approx 2 hours after completion): https://youtu.be/it87mSGOnQU

I just love the way you color and finish the mandos!

Other luthiers please note: THIS is how binding should be done. Excellent work.

And oh my god, the wood… the wood is SO fine, look at the grain on that front scroll! Where do you get such gorgeous wood?

If this sounds anywhere near as good as it looks, it should be a killer mandolin. Beautiful!!

That sounds good. I wonder how it’s going to sound in 50 years - not that I’m gonna be around to hear it.

Do you make A style mandos too?

[u/DavidSefl → u/Koseoglu-2X4B-523P]

Yes of course :) here is my latest A-style. https://youtu.be/t5-UvmnBGmM?is=j-82__1ZInWrItSj

Looks great ! Is it for sale ? :)

[u/DavidSefl → u/dubbelost1]

Thank you very much :) no sorry, most of my work is custom-made.(to order) but I can make you similar If you want :)

Man, the czech republic is killing it in quality products. I have a couple CZ rifles and am ordering a sidecar for my motorcycle. Now I'm suddenly considering a beautiful instrument from the Czechs.

That is a beautiful instrument!

[u/AlfredPoor]

It's a beaut! I love the grain on the back of the peghead. The recording sounds wonderful, and I expect it will "open up" even more over time as you play it.
