 April 3, 2008 | Gypsy's Octave Mandolin
We're delighted to bring you our latest "Builders Spotlight" entry, a journey to new lows, an Octave Mandolin out of the Southwest US desert, up and coming Gyspy's Music. The search for something moderate in price but abundant in tone has turned up this marvelous instrument; we had a McIntyre Internal Feather pickup added before it left Scottsdale, and this turned about to be a magnificent stage instrument as well as front-porch pleaser. Plugged into an UltraSound DIplus preamp and strung up with D'addario Flatwound Chrome Steel strings, this OM yields robust tone, but remains easy to finger and play, terrific for jazz voicing and classical music.
Special thanks to Walt Kuhlman and crew as they bring the opportunity to purchase a custom-made US product at an extremely reasonable price!
