The M 型

M 型

Shorn 共 pretense, simply appointed, our M 型 mandolin has been an exceptional choice for players looking to move up to their first high quality instrument.  And, while it may be our entry level mandolin, it’s hardly a typical one.

This is the mandolin we had in our heads when we first started shaping wood into remarkable instruments. One that does away with fancy scrollwork and relies purely on rich, warm sound to make an impression. A mandolin that reflects both our obsessive nature with the finest instruments 共 the past—yes, we’ve spent some hundreds 共 hours looking at CT scans 共 the world’s great violins and mandolins, studying wood densities, making 3D scans, and analyzing recordings to dial in specific frequencies when we carve and voice the instrument—and our slightly crazy ways.  

You see before you play the M 型, know that a whole bunch 共 other musicians already have. We gave early production models to musicians. Had them take them on the road, play in front 共 a crowd, play in the heat, play on a bus at four in the morning. Their feedback is built into every mandolin we make.

Extraordinary and accessible the M 型 model bring together qualities at the core 共 our business and our approach to making traditional instruments.

History. Countless hours honing our craft. A bit 共 ‘crazy.’ Yes, a lot more goes into this mandolin than first meets the eye.
