Bouzouki.

[flatpikinguitar]

What kind of top does that mando have.

[BanjoBen1]

@flatpikinguitar I think it's sitka spruce...not quite sure.

[djhuff1998]

Nice job! About how much for a mandolin like your playing?

[BanjoBen1]

Well, you can find Rattlesnakes online and see the price. Let's just say it's worth over twice what my ol' truck is worth :)

[ressalg]

@BanjoBen1, if that mando is newer than a '99, it's a red spruce top.
