Mowry A5 Sunburst (Used, 2018)

$5,300

It's always a pleasure to have one of Andrew Mowry's mandolins in the shop, and this recent A5 is an excellent example of his superb craftsmanship and attention to detail. With plenty of sustain, harmonic complexity and a wide dynamic range, this mandolin is a particularly versatile instrument, well-suited to everything from solo arrangements to fiddle tunes. Responsive and balanced, it has a lovely rolled-off treble on the high strings. In excellent condition, with hardly any fret-wear, and priced with original hardshell case!
