Report for this particular instrument
Originally from Bruceweiart Musical Instruments. Received in excellent condition. Work performed: fret machining, nut and saddle filing, bridge setup for correct intonation.New strings fitted. Initial testing by Dane Clarke at MandoHarp workshops in Nambucca Heads. Setup by luthier Tim O'Dea at the workshop of Tim O'Dea Guitars in Corindi on contract to MandoHarp. Final test by Dane Clarke - intonation, harmonics, action all excellent. This instrument is a pleasure to play with its smooth, carefully dressed frets and low action. A truly wonderful instrument to play and behold with great detail in the abalone and mother of pearl inlays. Moving under lighting provides sparkles of colour and glimpses of the depth in the deeply-inlaid art work.
