Wonderful A5 "Ensemble" from our friends Max and Lauri Girouard, just in to the shop. These are among the finest handmade A-style mandolins available today. This Ensemble features a Red spruce top paired to Red maple neck, back, and sides. Very engaging to play, Girouard's signature tone leans slightly modern— punchy and warm yet clear, with ample volume nice and a sweet, round chime on top. The build quality is exceptional;  Girouard mandolins exhibit a level of craftsmanship we're proud to display alongside the best instruments in the world.

Priced with Hoffee case.
