The Concert Grand of Mandolins
Between beautiful and decorative much newer mandolins, this hidden treasure lurked like a swan in crow's feathers. The price was lowered a couple of times, because customers rather liked the beautiful mandolins, those looking twice as sweet as the sound of their voices, you'd think. Far from it. As soon as the somewhat crackled patina of this mature Swedish hand crafted lifted her voice, those blond super hit kids sounded pretty much like the boasted about karaoke amateurs of the popsong repeating sugar coated reality TV show of the day in comparison. It was like comparing cracking an egg to the canons of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, a digital piano sounding from half closed set of bluetooth headphones up on a shelf in the next room to a concert grand crescendo right in front of you in a huge hall. And how on earth can a mandolin stay tuned after being somewhat forgotten for almost a whole year? What is this instrument made of? The kind of material that makes you make music.
