## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the bridge an arch or flat top?**
A: The BRIDGE in flat. The person who referred to it as arched, was probably referring to the top of the body - which is arched.  The bridge is seated to this arched body. Basically, all mandolins have a flat bridge so that you can strum all of the strings in unison - like a guitar.

**Q: Were is it made**
A: China.

**Q: Is this item easy to use?**
A: Easy in what sense?

**Q: Is this the acoustic Electric version**
A: This is not electric; acoustic only.

*by P***G on 12 April 2024*

The instrument is obviously machine-made, but it is finished well and dramatically resembles the old 1923 Gibson F-5. The tone may be a bit rough by comparison to the old Gibsons, but it has a good loud melodic voice.
