Mandole for sale

ignatzh - 1-14-2013 at 10:38 PM

After much soul searching I've decided to sell my mandole, which was made by well known mandolin-family instrument maker Walt Kuhlman, in order to purchase an oud. As probably most of you know, it's very hard to find one of these in the US - the instrument and I live in New Mexico. I popped a string - it's set up for ten. Otherwise it's in mint condition. Mahogany sides and back, spruce top. Asking $1400.

I'm having a lot of difficulty uploading images...plenty available on request.

Thanks!

Hi - I found a link that discussed the building of this instrument:

I might also consider a trade for an oud of equal value, preferably Armenian style.
