About our Mandolins

Our instruments come with a full professional set-up!

We never send instruments out straight from the box. Some of the less expensive folk instuments come from the factory set-up up poorly and strung up with cheap inferior strings. When the instruments arrive at the shop we replace the strings with a much higher quality set and give the instrument a full set-up, making all adjustments necessary so that the instrument plays as well as possible.

Things included in the set-up are: New strings, neck relief, action at nut and bridge, intonation and fret profiling.

We also restring all of our mandolins with a fresh set of strings before dispatch (11 gauge on most mandolins, 10 guage on beginner models).

Your mandolin will be delivered to you setup, tuned and ready to play!
