The Carbon Fiber Mandolin
July 11, 2008
Peter Mix knew there would be a carbon fiber mandolin. He just didn’t know he would be the one creating it.
Mix worked with Rogers Mandolin for a decade, and when the company shuttered its doors in 1996, Mix looked around for something to do. He says he was fascinated by what was happening at Composite Acoustics and Rainsong and how they were building carbon fiber guitars. “I loved what I was hearing and playing, and it just seemed inevitable that someone would build a carbon fiber mandolin.”
