View instrument...



Stunningly beautiful Collings MT Oval in the new-favorite Sheraton Brown finish. This mandolin harkens back to the Gibsons of old in looks AND tone--it rings all the way up the neck with a fat, woody chime that would suit anything from jazz, to Celtic to old-time. A wonderful mandolin, priced with a Collings hard case.
