Originally there were two basic mandolins a Venetian and a Neopolitan, ONe was the 8 string and the other had 12
The Mandriola is based on a Mandolin and was advanced in Germany in the early 1920's
What's the first piece you played called?
Also, where did you get strings for this?
Where do you buy one of these? It’s hard to find, it would mean a lot
