Tenor mandolas (C,G,D,A)

European or Sitka spruce, hand- carved top
Maple or English Sycamore back & sides (flat back)

 

The Mandola is usually tuned c,g,d,a (low to high), to the same pitch as the Viola (its violin family counterpart).
It is often called the 'Tenor mandola' so that it is not confused with the 'octave mandolin' (tuned g,d,a.e and also known as 'octave mandola' !! ).

 

I usually make this model to order only.
The instrument pictured, has a dark stained 'vintage' style, satin finish, with Sitka spruce top and English sycamore back, sides and neck. But it can be custom-built with alternative timbers and finishes.
