The Mandola, often used in Celtic traditional music, is to the mandolin what the viola is to the violin. The four double courses of strings are usually tuned in fifths to CGDA, a fifth lower than a mandolin, but many other tunings may be used. Our Mandola features authentic Celtic tone and low, comfortable playing action. The cast brass tailpiece is stronger and thicker than sheet metal tailpieces, providing more sustain. This traditionally shaped and finished mandola will complement the sound of any acoustic ensemble. 

Gold Tone's unique mando-guitars have expanded the sound pallets of thousands of players, and this latest addition to the range offers a new look. The traditional A-style body features a spruce top and maple back and sides with a rich tobacco sunburst satin finish. The maple neck carries an African blackwood fingerboard, and the adjustable walnut bridge and two-way truss rod make for easy setup and maintenance. All this, plus a bag AND our patented Zero Glide nut!

It's here! The Eastman MD305 is now available as an electro-acoustic mandolin.  Fitted with a K&K  pickup and the same great specs as its acoustic sister.
