Rory’s Martin Mandolin which he would famously play on the song ‘Going To My Hometown’.
“That was another lucky find. It’s an OM model — the orchestra model. Stefan Grossman had the guitar version and it’s a gorgeous-looking instrument. It’s a small folk-size mandolin but it joins at the 14th fret. It’s got a mahogany finish and I have an lbanez pick-up underneath the strings between the soundhole and the bridge. It works best there for me. It’s got an extra pickguard on top because I was wearing it away too quickly. I was putting Gaffa tape on and it was getting a bit rough and ready looking. I just use standard mandolin strings.”
