Mandola

A style oval hole mandola

Description

The mandola is a larger instrument than the mandolin and is tuned 1/5th below (like a viola).  The scale length is 16 inches or optionally 15.8 inches.  The longer scale length improves the sound of the C string.  It is available as a Standard model (Spruce top) or a Goldfinch model (King Billy Pine top).  Beautiful sweet, warm and rich tonal quality.

Note 1 - The cost of a mandola is dependent on a suitable case being available.  Mandola cases have historically been very difficult and/or expensive to source.  Crossrock now make a mandola case that fits my mandolas, but the price for a mandola does depend on whether or not I can get these cases.  Currently the case is available and is about $400 AUD, but that price will depend on the exchange rate and transport costs from the USA.

Note 2 - I also offer a flat top mandola that icorporates all the technology of the 4th generation of mandolins.  Makes a beautiful sounding mandola.  The Crosstock case does fit these mandolas.
