 October 19, 2005 | Rigel, How?
Having returned from a recent road trip to Cambridge, Vermont, JazzMando staff journalists debunk common myths about the manufacturing process of Rigel mandolins:
*These are carved out of one solid piece of wood. (No, the sides are, though.)
*The finish on these is very thick. (No, 4 mls.! VERY thin.)
*They are ceramic. (No, some of the finest tonewoods in the world.)
*These are stamped out in highly automated, industrial fashion. (No, tremendous amounts of hand labor!)
*They only finish in butt-ugly colors. (No, just the ones that go through the JazzMando Merchandise Center. Tobacco-burst and Cremona are hands-down best sellers...)
