Gilchrist Mandolins


  1. Gilchrist Model 1

    Gilchrist Model 1

    Not many of the world’s top mandolin makers make oval hole mandolins. So when the opportunity to get one by one of the ‘four mandolin gods’ came along I couldn’t resist. Steve proves one of my theories of what the best luthiers can achieve. Tonal characteristics that might normally be considered to be either or can be combined. This beautiful Model 1 mandolin has as much bass as is ever likely to come out of a mandolin, but it still has amazing definition and projection, the mids are very full and complex, the trebles sing a very sweet song, a truly remarkable mandolin.

    I bought this for my own collection but have found increasingly that I have moved over to preferring f hole instruments, so give me a call if you're interested. (If I decide to sell it it will be for the price I paid, inc shipping and taxes).
