GUEST,Nickp Help to identify old mandolins (33) RE: Help to identify old mandolins 06 Apr 04


And just to add confusion about which instrument we're discussing ... I'll join in about the Hoyer rather than my original post.

I've seen 3 of these in the last 20 years and they're rather nice beasts. I think I'm right in saying that they look like mini-archtop jazz guitars rather than the fiddle description and I seem to recall the have a deep body.

I nearly bought one once but it wouldn't have been in keeping with my old time American playing (actually an excuse for the fact that I couldn't afford it!!). I was impressed by the one I tried - happy picking!
