The first part of this book deals with the historical development of the

mandolin. Special emphasis is placed on the life and production of the three

leading Italian workshops at the beginning of the 20th century, namely those

of the Vinaccia family, Luigi Embergher and Raffaele Calace. Images of their

most famous and beautiful instruments appear on double-sided plates, and

particulars of their construction are discussed on the basis of many detailed

photographs and scaled building plans. In addition, special attention is paid

to the development of mandolin building in Germany from the end of the 19th

century up to the present day. A whole chapter is devoted to the career of

Reinhold Seiffert. This chapter describes how his new mandolin model came

into being. Alfred Woll complements this discussion by explaining

particularities of his own modern mandolins.

The second part of the book is devoted to the practicalities of mandolin

construction. Based on his forty-year experience as a mandolin builder,

Alfred Woll makes available all the considerations and practical information

necessary to construct a high-quality modern classical soloist model

mandolin. Starting with the criteria for selecting good timber and concluding

with complete blueprints, he uses many informative photographs to explain

every single step. This gives the interested mandolinist insight into how the

instrument comes into being, and also the ambitious luthier valuable

information and practical advice for ensuring the survival of an ancient and

venerable craft.

An appendix contains advice and instructions for the player on how to look

after the instrument, next a chapter about the career of the author, and also

extensive notes and a bibliography.
