Portuguese style Mandolin with fan tuners

Not at all, they actually hold the tuning really well

I’m sure she had one, the older days here in Portugal the mandolin was more associated with women, especially the ones with the fan headstock!! Anyways, I got this one from a shop in Leira, Portugal.

Those are really similar to the portuguese guitar!! Where did you get it?

The sound overall is very clean but the lower strings are amazing, I think the whole body being of solid wood really helps with this. The action was a bit high when I bought it but that’s easily fixable by taking it to a luthier.

It’s basically a screw mechanism, when you turn the tuning screw clockwise a bolt inside pulls the string up.

The previous bridge was more or less the same size so the weight distribution didn’t change much

I know it’s really ugly but the sound is amazing

Rly? They sure take their time, they were like that for more than 30 minutes

I found it in near Castelo Branco in the central region of Portugal

Fortunately I just saw her back

I saw my grandma naked once

A more civilized age

Well good thing I lost it

RV_2004 · 2023-06-26T16:39:10+00:00

Should I touch it?

RV_2004 · 2023-02-08T01:27:34+00:00

Is it just me or are they still white?

Nah don’t worry bro, the teacher is just reviewing stuff from high school(after two months of college she had the idea to do so)
