Player Reviews:

"I cannot get over the wonderful condition of this instrument. It's nearly unplayed and it's beautiful. Stefan loves Cocobolo and it give a richness that goes well with the power of this 4 course Octave Mandolin/Cittern. Stefan has not been making these for quite a while, so don't miss this opportunity." - Paul Heumiller

"I have one just like this at home and I love it. It's such a special instrument and perfect for adding just the right texture to a recording. I've used mine on lots of CDs and it is always welcome." - Al Petteway
