The Mandolin has a scale length of 350mm and a nut width of 31mm and is 40mm at the bridge. A clean bright tone, well spaced fingerboard. The slim neck profile and fine sound box make it light and well balanced.

The Tenor Mandola is to a mandolin what a viola is to a violin with the tuning going down to C, giving the instrument a much broader sound.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Octave Mandola, has a 500mm scale length, a nut width of 33mm and a bridge width of 40mm make this a good-sized instrument. The fixed pin bridge allows the player to relax more with the dynamic of the sound. Full bright chords that work perfectly with the voice

The Bouzouki has a scale length of 665mm and is joined to the body at the 15th fret giving a good balance. The nut width is 38mm and 46mm at the bridge.

Developed over the past few years this instrument has a beautiful rich sound to match it's size.

( The sunburst and scratchplate are optional.)

 

 

The 355 Cittern, has a slightly larger scale to the mandolin, with a fifth course going down to C.

               

The 500 Cittern is a ten-string octave mandolin tuned from G to B. The 500 scale together with the extra course, works well when playing melodies and rhythm.

 

 

The “635” Cittern is the largest of the cittern range. These 10 string instruments are extremely versatile. When used with a cappo and a little imaginative tuning you can have loads of fun. It is deceptively light for it’s size whilst being loud with a solid tone
