This is an archtop Octave Mandolin with curly maple body and Sitka spruce top. It has a relatively short scale (21") and is strung with d'Addario FT76 flat wound mandola strings. The arched top and back give a full, rich, balanced, sustained tone.

Construction features include the usual user-friendly bolt-on neck, unequal X-braced top. The neck has a modern 2-way adjustable truss rod, and the bridge is adjustable. Grover 18:1 micro-tuners provide easy tuning.

Decoration includes the richness of Madagascar rosewood for the head plate, finger-rest and binding, and abalone inlays. A golden stain highlights the curly maple.

This is a great instrument for Celtic or old-time music, or to accompany singing.
