As all of us have fallen into the money downsizing, I am introducing a much less expensive version of all of our mandolin and mandolas. I'm calling these the 'PRIMITIVE' mandolin. Whatever our price is on our standard models, these will be $200 less*. What's the difference? No brace carving. No binding. Izombe fretboard (much less expensive wood but still plenty hard) and no attention to sanding scratches or finish work. All of that is the time consuming processes so eliminating them reduces the cost considerably.
So if you have been wanting a Big Muddy but are short on cash, this is a great way to save and still own a solid, great sounding mandolin from us.
*The MW-0 will be $150 less than normal.
See the mandolins on our page for more details regarding wood and sound of each mandolin.
