Tonewood BZ-1 All Solid Octave Mandolin

The Tonewood BZ-1 Octave Mandola made from ALL SOLID timbers.

This Octave Mandola, sometimes called the Octave Mandolin, is exceptional at this price point as it is all solid timber construction, something that traditionally only luthier produced instruments could boast.

The soundboard has intricate fretwork around the sound-hole providing great sound projection, more than other instruments at this price point.

A maple neck and maple slotted headstock with back facing open geared tuners makes for easier tuning whilst the maple and ebony tipped bridge add more density for even greater sound projection whilst the metal tailpiece has an effective chrome cover plate for neatness.

You get excellent tone and volume at a fraction of the cost of what you normally pay for an all solid instrument.
