41" must be an upright? I think you have the full range covered! :^)

Thanks Dani and Bear. This mando has a 14" scale and my next post, coming in a day or so, will be a bass with 41" scale. Maybe something in between after that!

A little more on the chin and much whiter but i see some resemblance. Either way you're my musical hero. Keep them coming. Please :)
