Dart Instruments

Winter 2012:
The two Mandolas, above, are of the fancy Florentine style. The H-4, with the older style oval hole, has a rich, full open sound. The H-5 with f holes is warm, strong and balanced. Both styles are now reduced to sell at $6,000 and are available now. Both instruments have custom tailpieces.
  There is also one Ukulele available now at $1000.
