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 |
