Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

While the MT Mandola might be the most modest of Collings' entries into the field, but this instrument is all luxury.

SP Luthier Notes: Setup

From Collings Guitars

The MT Mandola is our entry-level satin finish mandola with simplified appointments. But don't let the "entry-level" part fool you- its built with the same quality construction as our higher end models. It has a comfortable 15.9" scale length, and can be played just like a mandolin, but the low C string adds a whole new dimension of musical possibilities. With a fully carved Adirondack spruce top and maple back and sides, the MT Mandola is undoubtedly one of the best values out there in a professional quality A-style Mandola.
