Thomann Standard Octave Mandolin - Natural High Gloss

The Standard Octave Mandolin from Thomann is designed to recreate the magic of Bill Monroe's compositions. If country music is your forte, this instrument serves as your ideal companion. The solid spruce top imparts adequate stiffness to the instrument. Spruce offers fast transmission of sound, which translates into a large number of overtones. The mahogany neck offers well-rounded tones, as the tonewood variety absorbs string vibrations. The back and sides of this mandolin are constructed out of sapele, which is known for producing additional treble zing. The African blackwood fretboard provides a responsive taptone. This mandolin can be tuned from low to high in the following fashion: G-D-A-E.
