Paul Evans the proprietor of Siveen Mandolins has taken a break from instrument making since the summer 2019. He has now relocated to new premises still in Caherciveen and plans to return to work sometime in January 2020. This is great news as Paul has such a following of musicians who own and play his mandolins & bouzoukis. I highly recommend his instruments whichever level of player you are and the good news is I will be taking orders for his new builds from 1st January 2020. Please drop me a quick message here to notify me of your interest in these hand crafted instruments, I will do my best to answer any enquiries you may have.
