Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind­ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such

SECTION 1: SAFETY

Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or read­ing glasses are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropri
ate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Because there are various ways to cut and join wood, you can make substitutions for the methods
stated in this plan. We try to suggest the easiest methods possible. However, only you know your
skills with each piece of machinery. Never compromise your safety by using a cutting method
with which you are not comfortable. Instead, find an alternative approach that will yield the same
result.

These instructions assume that you are intimately familiar with the safe operation and use of wood­working machinery and woodworking tools, and understand the techniques used to reproduce this
project. If you do not qualify for both of these criteria, STOP building this project for your own
safety. Read and understand the owners manual for the machinery you intend to use, take a wood
working class or visit your local library for more information. Woodworking machinery and tools
are inherently dangerous because they use sharp edges that can and will cause serious personal
injury including amputation and death. Do not underestimate the ability of these tools and machin
ery to cause injury. Never operate any tool without all guards in place and always wear approved
safety glasses. For your own safety, please heed this warning.

SECTION 4: SANDING

Body

The mandolin body has been rough sanded at
the factory. To get a good finish the body must be
sanded with a series of sandpaper grits.

To sand the mandolin body:

1. Wear an ANSI-approved respirator and
safety glasses when sanding wood!

2. Use a sanding block with #150 grit alumi

num-oxide sanding paper to sand the man
dolin body until there is a consistent scratch
pattern on the entire surface. Sand as little
as possible in the neck area at this time
Note—When hand sanding, always sand in

the same direction as the wood grain.

3. Resand the entire mandolin body with #220
grit sanding paper and lightly round over the
sound hole and edges of the body.

4. Wipe the mandolin body with a damp cloth to
“raise” the wood grain, allowing the “raised”
grain to be sanded smooth.

Neck

Like the mandolin body, the mandolin neck has
been rough sanded at the factory. Personalize
the fretboard and neck headstock with additional
cutting, inlay, or design work before final sanding.
Note—Take your time and consider testing your

designs in scrap wood before performing the
work on the actual fretboard and headstock.

Wait until the fretboard is installed before

.

Fretboard

The fretboard requires no sanding. Note—

Sanding the fretboard will affect the playability
of the mandolin and could lead to unrepairable
damage.

5. Wait until the wood is dry and resand the
entire body with #220 grit sandpaper. Dampen
again and resand.

6. Fill the wood pores in the back and sides with
a paste filler according to the manufacturer's
instructions. DO NOT fill the grain of the
spruce soundboard.

7. When the paste filler is dry, use “000” grade
steel wool to remove the residue and polish
the wood surface.

SECTION 5: ASSEMBLY

Neck to the Body

A precise fit is important for the neck-to-body
joint. This joint can affect the placement of the
strings and bridge, and affect the sound quality
of the mandolin. Dry fit and check all the parts
before gluing.

To install the neck:

1. Test fit the neck by pushing the dowels into

the body of the mandolin and sliding the neck
onto the dowels as shown in Figure 3. DO
NOT glue the joint at this time.

2. Check for gaps between the body and the

neck.

– If there are gaps, remove the neck and

pegs, hold a piece of sandpaper on the
surface of the mandolin body with the grit
facing out as shown in Figure 4. Rub the
neck up and down on the sandpaper until
the neck conforms to the body shape.
Be careful to maintain the neck-to-body
angle.

frequently. A little bit of sanding can cause
large adjustments.

8. Place the tailpiece on the edge of the
soundboard and align it to the center line.

9. Use a screw to mark the centers of the screw
holes and then set the tailpiece to the side.
Note—The tailpiece will not be installed until

after the finish is applied to the mandolin, but
the alignment of the tailpiece is easier before
final sanding.

8. Apply wood glue into the dowel holes in the
mandolin body and insert the dowels.

9. Spread a thin layer of wood glue on the heel
of the neck, the dowels, and the body where
it will connect to the neck.

Fretboard Extender

To install the fretboard extender:

1. Press the fretboard extender onto the

soundboard and the base of the neck.

2. Check for gaps between the fretboard extend
er and the body.

– If there are gaps, place the sandpaper

face up on the soundboard. Rub the
fretboard extender on the sandpaper until
the extender conforms to the body shape
as shown in Figure 7. Repeat steps 1–2

– If there are no gaps, go on to step 3

Fretboard

To attach the fretboard to the neck:

3. Drill the positioning holes near the ends of

the surface of the neck

using a drill bit that is
slightly smaller than the brad nails used for
positioning.

1. Check the neck for flat

ness by setting the

neck on a flat surface, fretboard side down.

– If there are gaps between the surface and

the neck, place sandpaper, grit side up,
on the flat surface and rub the neck on the
sandpaper as shown in Figure 8 until the
neck and fretboard extender are flat.

Finishing

Finishing supplies are not included with this
mandolin kit. Some of the options include stains,
lacquers, varnishes and oil finishes. All of these
come in spray cans, brush on finishes, or spray
finishes. Finish materials and books on finish
ing instruments can be ordered through Grizzly
Industrial or numerous luthier supply catalogs.

To finish the mandolin:

1. Mask off the surface of the fretboard. Carefully

press all the masking tape edges securely
to the fretboard. The finish coat can seep
under these edges, especially near corners,
uneven edges, and places where the frets
meet the fingerboard.

2. Form a piece of wire into a U shaped hanger
with hooks on both ends.

3. Thread the hooks through the upper peg­holes and hang the instrument in the finish
room.

Wear a NIOSH/OSHA
approved respirator with
particulate and gas/vapor
filters, safety glasses,
and rubber gloves, and
work in a well ventilated

-

4. Apply several thin coats of the finish follow­ing the manufacturers instructions. Multiple
thin coats usually produce a better quality
finish than one heavy coat.

5. Hang the instrument in a dust free room to
dry.

6. When finishing is complete, remove the
masking tape from the fretboard.

7. Carefully scrape any excess finish off the
fretboard with a razor blade as shown in

area when using finish-

ing materials!

Figure 13. Instrument ready to be finished.

Dust particles suspended in the air will settle
on wet finishes, causing less than satisfactory
results. To avoid this problem:

• Leave the finishing room undisturbed for 24
hours prior to applying the finish.

• Avoid making unnecessary movements upon
entering the finish room.

• Apply the finish to the desired mandolin parts
and immediately leave the finish room.

• DO NOT return to the room until the specified
drying time has elapsed.

Nut

Tailpiece

The nut holds the peghead end of the strings the
correct distance above the frets. It is not nec
essary to cut the string notches in the nut that
comes with this kit.

To install the nut:

1. Use a chisel to carefully scrape all of the fin

ish out of the nut slot (Figure 14). DO NOT
remove any wood from the nut slot.

The tailpiece holds and separates the ends of

-

-

the strings. The tailpiece included with this kit is
a chrome plated, multi-hook tailpiece with a slid­ing cover.

To install the tailpiece:

1. Place the tailpiece on the edge of the

soundboard and align the screw holes with
the marks made earlier.

2. Use three of the small panhead screws to
attach the tailpiece. See Figure 15

.

Figure 14. Cleaning out the nut slot.

2. Spread a thin layer of glue in the nut slot and

on the end of the fretboard.

3. Place the nut in the nut slot and hold it in
place with rubber strips or clamps until the
glue dries. Note—Use wooden blocks and

pads between the clamps and the neck to
protect the instrument.

4. Wipe away the excess glue before it sets up,
then allow the glue to dry for 24 hours.

Figure 15. Tailpiece components.

3. Insert a large countersunk screw through the

endpin (strap button).

4. Screw the endpin into the center hole of the
tailpiece.

Tuning Machines

Bridge

To install the tuning machines:

1. Place the eight metal bushings in the peg

holes in the front of the headstock as shown
in Figure 16

Figure 16. Peghead bushings.

2. Place a wooden block on the bushing and

hammer the block until the bushing flange is
flush with the peghead surface.

.

This mandolin has a scale of 350 mm, which
means that the bridge will be placed 350 mm

-

from the nut. This will be approximately between
the points of the sound holes. Mandolin bridges
are not glued into place, but are held in place
with the string pressure, so final placement of the
bridge occurs when the strings are tuned.

To fit the bridge to the soundboard:

1. Place a piece of sandpaper, grit side up,

between the points of the F holes.

2. Remove the bridge top.

3. Hold the sandpaper firmly (so that you will

not mar the finish) and move the bridge back
and forth, perpendicular to the string direc
tion as shown in Figure 18

.

-

3. Turn the mandolin over and insert the tuning
machines into the back of the pegholes.

4. Attach both tuning machines to the peghead
with ten of the small screws.

Figure 17. Tuning machines installed

in the peghead.

Figure 18. Fitting the bridge to the soundboard.

4. When the ebony dust streaks on the sandpa

per are the same width as the soundboard,
take shorter sanding strokes.

5. Remove the sandpaper and place the bridge
on the soundboard. Look for gaps between
the bridge and the soundboard. Repeat
steps 3-5 until there are no gaps.

To place the bridge:

1. Lay the bridge flat on the mandolin head and

slide it under the strings.

2. Slowly tilt the bridge up under the strings.
Note—Loosen the strings if it is difficult to

raise the bridge.

3. Slide the strings into their slots and tune.

4. The bridge is located 350 mm (13.8") from

the nut and 175 mm (6.89") if measured from
the 12th fret. See Figure 20

.

Figure 19. String placement.

3. Route the strings over the bridge and to

the inside of the tuning posts. Note—Allow
enough string slack to allow 2-3 complete
winds around the tuning peg.

4. Insert the end of the string into the tun
ing post and turn the knob to tighten the
strings. Note—DO NOT completely tighten

the strings at this time.

Figure 20. Bridge placement.

5. Finalize the position of the bridge by lightly

touching the 1st string directly above the

-

twelfth fret and plucking the string to play a
harmonic note.

6. Now pluck the string while holding it against
the twelfth fret. If this note is sharper than
the note played in step 5, move the bridge
toward the tailpiece. If this note is flat in com
parison, move the bridge toward the neck.
Note—The bridge may need to be slightly

angled for the best sound.

—This can also be done with an electronic

String Height

Tuning

Correct string height is crucial to prevent fret
buzz and maximize playability. The string height
is measured from the top face of the fret and the
bottom of the string. The string height at the 12th
fret from the peghead should be

7

⁄64" (3 mm) above the fret.

Tuning is the most important aspect of perfor­mance for a mandolin. If the mandolin is not in
tune with itself, or the other instruments in an
ensemble, the resulting music will not sound
pleasing to the ear. The standard mandolin tuning
notes are shown in Figure 23.

Important issues to consider when tuning a
mandolin:

• Get into the habit of tuning the mandolin
every time it is picked up to be played.

• Always tune the strings “up.” The final tuned
tension of each string should be reached
while tightening the string, not loosening it.
If the string is tensioned too far, loosen the
tension and tune ”up” again.

• The easiest way to tune a mandolin is using
an electronic tuner such as the Grizzly
