Irish bouzouki for sale12/10/2023 ![]() Okay I'm started, confirmed and off and running, I love my little import beater and am suffering from MAS on Rogue budget (okay maybe not a Rogue budget but it's difficult to transpose beer budget to mandolins). On the other hand I'm a new mandolin player and bought a very low end import to get me started. My intent is to build scratch so that I can use specific wood selections and add elements to the build that I might think are of benefit to me or someone else. My only thought on the two kits was two fold and in light of my end goals in building, my thought was that the kits fit. I found the scratch build to be very, very fun.No disrespect taken (at least from me). You sound like you've got a brain in there, you should be fine with plans and maybe a book. I did a scratch build and have never done kits builds. Not to disrespect those who only do kit building, but I suspect after building one kit you'll probably be ready to dive in on a scratch build. I welcome comment on my strategy and if anyone does have sourcing information for a Octave build that would be great! I love the bowlbacks and have the opportunity to put some TLC into a couple that will be my first challenges. Then I am planning to do some work restoring some older mandolins. Plus, a good deal of experience and understand of construction technique I will want moving forward to doing higher quality builds later.Īs s precursor to the first build I'm doing some setups on inexpensive new mandolins for friends and family. My end goal is that after these first two builds that I would have two usable instruments with not a lot of differences in how they are played but with different tonal qualities. ![]() There is a whole lot of noobie in that but that is my basic understanding. Then I am looking to moving to an Octave only because from what I understand it uses the same tuning/fingering as the mandolin just with a longer neck with more frets. I'm not ready to go at one as my first building effort will be an A Style mandolin (shopping for that too but can find resources for that).Īnyone know of a good kit for an Octave Mandolin? My thought is that as I hone my building skills on these projects that my first build (an A Mandolin) will hopefully provide a better grade instrument than my entry level mandolin I am learning to play on now. I've done a bit of searching on the web and I'm not finding anyone that offers a quality IRISH BOUZOUKI (OCTAVE MANDOLIN) kit.
