The Thomann M1088 Europe Mandola is reminiscent of its historical counterparts. This mandola has a renaissance-inspired design that displays the art and culture of the 15th and 16th century. The mandola has a flat top made from solid spruce that gives a natural true resonance with great consistency. Its solid maple body strengthens the top end and makes the sound rich and clear. The scale length of 402mm gives the tone a subtle warmth and adds more sweetness to it. This mandola has an elegant rosette around the sound hole that give it a rich and vibrant look.
