THE ULTIMATE BLUEGRASS MANDOLIN CONSTRUCTION MANUAL by Roger H. Siminoff Photo

The most complete step-by-step treatise on building an F-style mandolin ever written. Siminoff applies over four decades of experience to guide you through detailed chapters covering: the basics of musical acoustics, how to select the right woods, cutting and shaping the neck, carving the soundboard and backboard, bending the rim, assembling the body, using tap tuning to adjust the soundboard and tone bars, inlaying mother of pearl and abalone, fretting the fingerboard, color finishing and building grain contrast, final assembly. A special highlight is the in-depth chapter on the art of tap tuning. Boasts hundreds of detailed photos, a full-color section on the staining and finishing process, numerous detailed illustrations, and a bonus set of 20 full-size blueprints. Luthier John Monteleone says: "I highly recommend this manual to anyone who might have the slightest notion to build a bluegrass mandolin for themselves. For even those folks who think that they might not have the required skills for making a fine musical instrument like this, just reading this invaluable resource of information might help them to better understand and appreciate how they are made." Comb-bound. 144 pp.

GIBSON LLOYD LOAR F-5 MANDOLIN PLANS - VERSION 3 drawn by Adrian Minarovic 4 Photos

Updated and expanded, now with four sheets instead of three! Adrian has completely redrawn these plans: all lines are now smooth and clean, averaged measurements have been replaced with exact measurements, the original arching is shown in a graduation map that reveals typical imperfections, hidden aspects of construction were added (neck construction, truss rod position, dovetail size, etc.), many of which were previously undocumented or unknown. With the help of Bill Halsey, texts were re-written into technical English with clear wording. Based on a Gibson F-5 mandolin signed by Lloyd Loar in 1923, these full-size, impressively detailed computer generated plans show the instrument from nearly every conceivable angle including front, side, headstock, tailpiece, an inside view showing placement of tonebars, a dramatic view looking down the instrument from headstock to bottom, plus soundboard thicknesses, fret to nut distances, table of materials, and many more annotated drawings. These are accurate full scale, printed for Adrian by a company that used to prints maps (for military uses) using an offset technique on offset paper (100g/m2). Shipped rolled in a heavy tube. Suitable for framing! Each plan consists of 4 sheets measuring approximately 23" x 33".
