Bulldog F4 Mandolin with Virzi

This Bulldog F4 hybrid mandolin has a body like that of a Loar-era Gibon F4, but with the slightly longer neck of an F5. It also has a Virzi tone producer in it, which adds complexity and a sort of chorus-like sound to the notes. Bulldog mandolins are made by Barry Kratzer. This is #19, made in December of 2006. The back is sycamore.

The Bulldog is an interesting mandolin for a hybrid.

Look me up under popoaggie. It should also be under Bulldog mandolin. It's called "untitled tune".

Where do I see your video? I'd like to hear your Bulldog very much. The ones I've heard are good sounding

What beautiful mandolin! And a fabulous sound too. The idea of put a vizi in an oval hole in ingenious! The chords have such a dense complex sound amazing! All of a sudden I have a relapse of mandolin acquistion syndrome! Thanks for posting this.
