Paul Shippey mandolins

Joel McDermott plays an A5 model mandolin built by master luthier Paul Shippey in Weston Super Mare, UK. The A5 is a magnificent hand-crafted instrument with an outstanding tone and beautiful response across the whole range of the fingerboard.
Joel's Shippey A5 Mandolin Specifications
Hand carved top - Engelmann spruce, Flame European maple back and sides. Bound Ebony Fingerboard. Headway Snake piezzo pickup.
Joel uses a Headway (UK) EDM-1 preamp, AER (Germany) and Crate (USA) acoustic amplifiers, Thomastick Infeld Präzision heavy gauge mandolin strings (Austria), and Wolle mandolin picks (Germany).
Wouldn't It Be Loverly (Frederick Lowe) arranged by Joel McDermott
Thanks again to Tosh Marshall for this brilliant instrument.
"My A5 mandolins feature hand carved and graduated front and back plates. Exceptional clarity of tone and dynamic range make it suitable for virtually all styles from jazz and classical to bluegrass and folk.

I tune the top and back plates to achieve a woody tone in the low register and a responsive, sweet tone right up to the highest frets on the E string."
