As I am an maker for historical instruments, I will not offer the modern neapolitan mandolin. Starting from the point of view of a lute maker I took a lot of researches of historican mandolins, caused by an order. And furthermore I did some reserches on the historical mandolines, which have been build by Antonio Stradivari
For some time I did some work o the modern mandola, and doing this, I constructed a special model: I made a lot of instruments of the so called "portugeese model" with sides and a shell body.
