More details about Reynolds Roundhole Mandolin
The Guitar Gallery are mandolin specialists and we have searched high and low for a very affordable mandolin that plays and tunes well enough for us to sell. The Reynolds is the only mandolin (so far) to meet those requirements. After it arrives, we spend considerable time setting up the mandolin correctly. With mandolins in this price range these essentiasl details are never attended to at the factory. The amount of mandolins that come into our shop needing this service confirms it.
The Reynolds mandolin is a roundhole model and this gives it much warmer tone than an F-hole model in the same price range. After a little work on the bench the Reynolds comes up well and we are happy to offer it as a first mandolin. Needless to say, beware, unless this work has been done it might sound ok but you won’t want to play it!.
