Lawrence mandolins
Lawrence mandolins
Here are some examples of Bob's mandolins and mandolas.He will use spruce for tops,but recomends red western cedar as an alternate tonewood.Cedar will give the"bark" that spruce has ,but gives a superior tone low to high that spruce will not produce.As with his resophonics,woods for backs and sides have many options.Maple and walnut are the most valid choices,helping produce a sweet but crystal clear tone.Prices start at 1200.00 and up depending on inlays and wood choices.Also shown are some pictures of his 5 string dojo's which are wonderful to play and have a sweet sound with good volume and record superbly.He also builds super playing guitars as well.His fingerstyle model D is fantastic for Travis style players with a well rounded tone.
