Dudenbostel Stringed Instruments

Luthier Lynn Dudenbostel has been building instruments since the late 1980s and mandolins were added around 1996. Dudenbostel's mandolins are very-high quality instruments that are produced in low numbers. Lynn is also one of the few luthiers that is familiar with the Virzi tone-type producer that many early Gibson mandolins featured. Lynn's main design is based on the Gibson F-5 style.
Mandolins currently produced in Knoxville, TN since 1996.
