Peter Sawchyn Mandolin

Here is a fine example of a hand made mandolin by Peter Sawchyn, who lives and works in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

If you are on the North American continent and looking to own a superbly hand-made guitar, mandolin, mandola, octave mandolin or Irish Bouzouki for that matter, then I highly recommend paying a visit to Sawchyn.Com and study it closely. Be sure to read the Comments Page while you're there. I can personally vouch for Peter Sawchyn's workmanship and integrity, having visited his workshop many times ( I live a stone's throw away from Peter ). I have been playing my own Sawchyn A-5, ( #0083 ), since December '82, which is when Peter personally delivered it to my door. I remember that winter's evening well. I can honestly say I've never coveted another mandolin since.

Although real audio is 'definy' not the best way to listen for sound quality when you're shopping for an acoustic instrument, you can hear my mandolin here IrishBouzouki.Com and here, Setanta Studios and here 'Musical Priest' recorded live at the Bardo Cafe in Regina in August 2003.
