Rediscover the essence of country music with the Portuguese De Luxe II Mandolin from the house of Thomann. This instrument inspires you to replicate the success of Bill Monroe with your own unique flavour. One striking feature of this mandolin is the arrangement of the mother of pearl inlays around the soundhole. These accents add an exquisite appeal to the instrument. The ovangkol sides and back produce a bright treble response. The blackwood fretboard offers crisp sounds with bell-like overtones. In addition, this tonewood variety adds a great deal of stiffness to this instrument. The Deluxe II Mandolin is tuned to G-D-A-E.
