Bulas Persephone
A fabulous hand-made F-style mandolin at an attractive price.
Piotr Bulas began building banjos for himself in his native Poland in the 1980s, eventually adding mandolins and guitars to his repertoire. In the mid-2000s, Piotr’s son Michal joined him in building instruments, and by 2014, they launched Bulas instruments. Today, Bulas offers a full line of mandolins and banjos, built by a small team of five luthiers in addition to Piotr and Michal. We recently checked out the company’s top-of-the-line Persephone—an F-style mandolin built with a hand-carved Carpathian spruce top and flamed maple back and sides. In this video, Peghead Nation’s Teja Gerken and Paul Kotapish demonstrate the instrument.
