Re my mandolin — I was seduced by the look of the instrument and its tone, and wasn’t disappointed when it arrived.

I came across NK Forster some years ago while Googling for tenor guitars. I bought one and was very pleased with my purchase.

What mattered most to me were the looks, the quality of the build, the tone, and the volume.

“It was love at first sight when the mandolin arrived. And it definitely responded to playing in over the subsequent weeks and months.”

Working together was very straightforward and open.

It was love at first sight when the mandolin arrived. And it definitely responded to “playing in” over the subsequent weeks and months.

My needs and expectations were met — not often that happens in life.

I would recommend NK Forster Guitars. I can’t fault the process or the instruments.

Bob said his Celtic mandolin was ‘love at first sight’ and that it only got better with time. If you’ve been thinking about commissioning a mandolin of your own, maybe now is the moment to start the conversation.
