Amazing craftsmanship. I wonder how they do some of that inlay.

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful! I think Saad Al-Tayyar is among the most innovative luthiers. His work is original and shows a true master. I was
wondering how the back was done. Is all in the finishing? What kind of wood is that?

is it possible to post an mp3 of the instrument? it's certainly a beautiful instrument but people on the mandolin site, to whom i directed here to
mike's to see the instrument (they're nuts for bowlback mandolins over there) have indicated the violin pegs may present tuning problems with metal
strings at concert pitch.
also - any on-line information available on mr. al tayyar
envious and curious - bill

I'm willing to bet that one of those mandolins costs at least two grand.

By the way, this mandolin was made for a collector. Those people appreciate the craftsmanship.

This tempts me to buy another mandolin. I sold mine so I could by my Mondol. Time, how much does one of those cost?
