The FUNDOLIN Story --
For quite some time, I have wanted to design a new entry-level mandolin has all the traits of the really great instruments that compel players to want to keep playing -- a super comfortable set-up, balanced tone, excellent responsiveness, and a classic yet modern look and feel. Now, after about 3 years of experimentation and prototyping, I am confident that the Fundolin meets these goals and is ready to play!

The Fundolin takes all the best things about playing the mandolin, violin, and ukulele and brings them together in one really FUN instrument --
* Tuned like a Violin and Mandolin so all sheet music, beginner books, and tablature is instantly playable!
* Short 13" Scale length (like violins and early mandolins) -- needs only a light touch and is easy on your fingers.
* Arched, carved solid spruce top and mahogany back like the best mandolins and violins for fantastic TONE.
* Built-in Piezo electric pick-ups let you to plug in to any amp and go FULL ELECTRIC POWER!
* The slim and comfortable neck helps give easy fingering of notes.
* Adjustable height bridge, geared tuners, truss rod, and solid metal tailpiece -- just like on expensive mandolins.
* A beautiful clear natural finish that protects the wood, but lets the Fundolin sing sweetly.
* Easy to take with you everywhere in the included lightweight backpack gig bag.
* Sweet, lovely tone that is pleasant and delightful . . . even during quiet times or in the car.
* The Fundolin is handmade in the USA and is set-up for perfect, comfortable play right away!
