My contemporary C-series mandolins are aimed at the modern player looking for a simple but elegant instrument. The rolled, unbound edges produce a comfortable body shape that avoids the need for plastic binding. This results in a less complex build process, giving a more affordable instrument without compromises in build quality and materials. These instruments can be hand finished in water -based lacquer or Tru-Oil.
