The Mandolin that Geoff is playing (just to the right in the next frame) is from the Fall 2006 class. The sound is incredible.

Mandolin making requires the student to wear many hats.

• Woodworker
• Carver
• Sound Engineer

The process begins with the hand carving of the Mandolin back. The complex shape, Rock Hard Maple, and demanding tolerances (1/10th of an inch) combine to create an experience that will truly make you appreciate the craft.
