Mandolins by fretted instrument and mandolin maker Antony Dixon

		Based on the Spanish/Portuguese shape and construction, these mandolins have a robust tone and exceptional volume. If you want a mandolin which will not be drowned out by your guitarist friends, these are for you. You can buy a ready-made one (see Instruments Available NOW) or have one specially built from the woods of your choice.     Click on the pictures for a closer look >   Here's a pair of left-handed mandolins bought by Paul McCartney from Hobgoblin Music in London.
