Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for left-handed players, this traditional Irish mandola uses four doubled string courses and CGDA tuning, a fifth below mandolin tuning. Its solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides are paired with low playing action for a more comfortable fretting feel. The cast brass tailpiece is designed to add sustain, and the traditional shape suits acoustic ensemble work. A hard case is included for transport and storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed acoustic ensemble players working with the lower CGDA mandola tuning.
- Celtic traditional music settings that call for a mandola rather than a mandolin.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players.
- Players requiring standard mandolin tuning.
