Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

March 3, 2008 | AC3MN11 Mandolin Case

Finally, a mass market case that solves a lot of problems for the builder (and owner) of non-traditional shaped mandolins, the Access AC3MN11 rectangular nest wood case. We've had a chance to run this through its paces in the JazzMando Lab and couldn't be happier.

It's a simple idea, leave the nest open to where the mandolin is stabilized at key body points, but don't outline the F-scroll of the Florentine body. The instrument won't slip around, and you can still accommodate the horn of a Rigel G or CT series, swap out an F5 for an A5, or even better, fit a guitar body mandolin securely. The universal design allows the dealer to stock one and not five cases, and the custom builder doesn't feel like he/she has to stick the customer with a hefty custom case up charge. (Put the money in the mandolin, not the case!)

We've photographed some of the usual suspects and written our thoughts on these in an in-depth review:
