Hey



I'v got this old instument. Don't know if it's a mandolin or mandola. Does any of  you know which brand or maker it is by the initials at the headstock?



Best regards from Denmark



Henrik

Looks like a mandolin to me.

What is the scale length (distance from nut to bridge)?  A mandolin is usually between 13 and 14 inches.  Any longer and it's probably a mandola.

Thanx for your replies. 

I have just checked the scale length and it is 13 inches so I guess that makes it a mandolin
