re: Handmade Mandolin

Thanks to all for the great comments. I’m an unknown in the lute making world so I have to take whatever price I can get. After materials, shipping and EBay’s 12.9% cut, my profit came out at $2.50. At least I didn’t take a loss and that’s important. I build these instruments because I enjoy it, not to make a living.
Eric, If you’re thinking of building a dulcimer, there’s a few choices here. I built the model from the Woodworker’s Journal.
