Stretto

The sound is very responsive, with great depth of tone, a strong bass, complex mid range, and sweet trebles.


This unique mandolin is based on the Simon Mayor model, but with a shorter 352mm scale. The sound is very responsive, with great depth of tone, a strong bass, complex mid range, and sweet trebles.

Visually the instrument is stunning. Highly figured Quilted Maple, Sitka Spruce and Macasser Ebony, are combined with  Planewood bindings and red line veneer highlights .

A natural finish highlights the contrasting timbers. The art deco inspired inlay is cut from mother of pearl and green malachite
