Mandolin Information (index_mandolin.shtml) | Updated: 21-Jul-2008 - 11:25
Mandolin - A mandolin is a stringed musical instrument. The number and type of strings found on mandolins has varied over time and place. Today, the predominant configuration is that of the Neapolitan mandolin, with four courses of metal strings. Each pair of strings is tuned in unison, and are a fifth apart from adjacent pairs, giving an identical tuning to a violin (G-D-A-E low-to-high). Unlike a violin, the fingerboard of a mandolin is fretted and it is typically played with a flat pick (a plectrum).

(from their site )My name is Jason Chinchen. I'm 31 years old and a Canadian-born native of the Northwest. A lifetime of interests in art, design and woodworking have led me to this craft. After a tenure at Breedlove Guitar Company building both guitars and mandolins I collected the knowledge necessary to strike out on my own. I strive to create beautiful instruments of lasting quality.

Info
(from Andy Powers's site) - Andy Powers grew up in a music-loving family in Oceanside, California. At the age of five Andy, the son of a carpenter and his artist wife, had his first workbench and shortly thereafter began playing piano. Andy took up playing the guitar when he was eight. In a house where musical instruments, tools and wood were all readily available, curiosity got the better of him and he began his first attempts at building guitars before the age of ten. With design and sound refinement the instruments began to improve tremendously, and Andy began selling the instruments to customers while he was still a teenager. Having been encouraged by his parents to pursue the arts, he began to explore the world of traditional inlayed art, using his instruments as a canvas.
