Unique! These are two new guitar designs and a mandolin design by Richard Morgan, the innovative luthier originally from Tasmania, that created the first ever guitars and mandolins with interchangeable soundboards! #mandolin #guitar #wood #design #luthier #innovate

@MandolinTuner Excellent!

So happy to see young kids playing their mandolins and celebrating the music tradition of the Greek island of Kefalonia! #mandolin #music #folk #kefalonia #greece (remember the famous book and movie about a mandolin?)

Musicians need to be more open to new designs and innovations on musical instruments. Although the violin most probably can not be improved, other instruments can and maybe should become better!

#coffeetime (and pleasure), planning this week's #mandoline study. Best place to think clearly: an almost empty #coffeeshop under the trees

Very thankful for August #Watters arrangement of A. #Piazzola's #Preparense tango. It sounds awesome with our #mandolin orchestra!

[Extraordinary Instruments @ExtraordinaryIU]

Its time to experiment with different designs and materials!

Although #mandolinsetup is not difficult, intonation issues cannot be fixed during a performance. It also requires some training or instructions to be done succesfully. So, here is the first ever mandolin design with a fixed bridge! (RM-M3 by Richard Morgan)

It' time to change strings to a couple of mandolins. I guess this is the perfect opportunity to create some instructional videos...

Power, punch, sustain, sweetness, balance, design...is it too much to ask for all of them?
