Make Offer - Mandola RG2 made by Hora, Romania, solid wood. I'm gonna keep my distance from the Hora and just wait till I have more cash and get a better instrument. Mandola, scale 332 mm-Top: solid spruce, Back: flat solid maple, Neck&Sides: maple. The installed pickup is also very pleasant to my ears, and I think the carved sound hole is very good looking.

I wouldn't call this a pro level instrument but kind of fun. Stretch it tight, ideally in somthing like a hacksaw or jigsaw frame but wrapping each end around sticks held in each hand works, too. Not really brilliant, but what do you expect - at least it has got a solid top and back, so it’s not of the "no sound at all" side of cheap instruments. In the US, where there is (as far as I know) no Hora distributor, you'd pay closer to $300 and can get a TC for less than half that again and in that context, the Hora makes much less sense.They have one on e*** for $195 plus $60 shipping factory direct and a TC here is $480 best I can find on the internet so they're still about $200 dollars apart.I had a Hora-made Troubador OM that I bought used. 1) Gretsch G9350 Park Avenue F-Mandolin A/E. I have bought a "Hora" Mandola some months ago for around 180$. I'm gonna keep my distance from the Hora and just wait till I have more cash and get a better instrument.I have a Celtic Star branded bouzouki made in Romania that I believe also came from Hora. Once the relationship goes sour, and you've tried your best, there's not much you can do except move on.

Black octave mandolin, short scale Irish bouzouki, made in Romania, solid wood.

Would be great for camping. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

The body of the mandolin is crafted from Spruce and Maple. A basic setup should cost around $50-$100, and is well worth it.Something must be really wrong with that instrument.

It sounds good, it keeps reasonably in tune and it's easy to play.

Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 0 guestsAre you sure it's not just the intonation that is messed up and you need to adjust that? If it's still out of tune, then it's probably just poor fret placement.Ugi, has your instrument been set up by a luthier? In my experience, new instruments are almost never set up properly at the factory, even high-end instruments. And if you ask there, you might get more replies from people who have played them.That's what I've gathered. Note: Photos are illustrative.

The instrument is not in tune which is obviously a problem.

I noticed a TC OM for $450-ish on the classifieds right after posting this thread. ... but in that price range Gold Tone and Trinity College tend to get good reviews. 20 Best Mandolin Reviews and the Best Mandolin Brands.

However, Greg, you really don't need to be afraid that the Hora will fall apart when played -- the construction isn't fancy, but it is really well made from decent woods.

For the money spent it has been a great deal. Recommended accessories: Mandola Bag .

The instrument is equipped with a piezoceramic dose with preamplifier and graphic equalizer. http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?45725-Troubadour-OM-Preliminary-reviewThe only thing I know is that they are 23" scale (ie: long or regular scale).You get a few more hits if you search for "Troubadour", which is one of several brand names under which they are sold in the UK.These are discussed from time to time down in the CBOM section of this forum.

Made in Romania, by Hora Reghin. If it's still out of tune, then it's probably just poor fret placement.Does it have a floating bridge? Natural color, glossy or satin finish. I'm gonna keep my distance from the Hora and just wait till I have more cash and get a better instrument.Thanks.

about three times as much. 1) Gretsch G9350 Park Avenue F-Mandolin A/E. If something is wrong with the frets, that should be quite easy to spot upon a quick ocular inspection.Does it have a floating bridge? Once you've done that, check your intonation on the rest of the fretboard. I picked it up used locally and have been gigging with it (2-6 x a month) for over 2 years.

Be very careful not to alter the depth of the slot.And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance.
