So far it&#8217;s been a little tough to learn how to deal with the roundback, which doesn&#8217;t sit easily on your lap, but I&#8217;m getting more comfortable with it day by day.  <\/p>\n<p>This round back style of this mandolin predates the flat back style of bluegrass instruments.  I hear the difference in tone as being more antique.  The timbre has woody corners, like the nasal quack of a cigar box guitar, but prettier.  The mood is carnival or amusement park.  If you play bottleneck blues on it the sound is like wailing spirits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bought from Bernunzio: A. C.
