Upcycled Oilcan Mandola - Making of & Soundtest

Here is the making of video and soundtest of the Oilcan Mandola. I hope you like it :)

Parts used:

Body: oilcan
Neck: Mahogany
Fretboard: Wenge
Tailpiece: forks
Tuning-pegs: Harley Benton
Strings: Fisoma F3120M
Tuning: Gdae'

The songs I play in the end are Morrison's Jig and the chords to Whiskey in the jar.

This is how I make instruments. I never properly learned how to make instruments, "real" luthiers might be doing it completely differently.
