Shalloch
Irish Mandolin

This instrument comes to us from our pals at Shalloch Folk Paradise in Hamburg, Germany.
Shalloch is a stringed instrument shop specializing in Celtic music, and they have
given us this interesting "Irish style" mandolin. At first blush, it may
not look unusual, but check it out closely. It has a pin bridge like a guitar. The
result is a mandolin with unusual sustain, and a great tone for traditional Celtic
tunes.
