HELP! RESONATOR MANDOLIN PLANS

Can anybody out there tell me where I can get hold of a set of drawings to let me build a resonator mandolin. I will even pay for them! This is my last resort, I can't find what I'm looking for anywhere.

Send an email note to luthier Roger Anderson and ask if he can help. Roger builds resophonic instruments of many types and can probably point you in the right direction. He may even have developed plans of his own. Tell him I sent you.

Fifer,

Don't know what happened to my last post.

Here are three new resonator mandolins:

Johnson

Donmo

Beltona

The Beltona is an especially pretty instrument.

If you want to do it yourself, try this:

Build it yourself

Thanks for all the feedback so far. It is greatly appreciated. I still have not found a definitive set af drawings anywhere, but I reckon that I'm closer to them than I was before.
Any further comments? Please keep them coming.
