This Engelmann spruce-topped A5 from Lawrence Smart is a potent example of why so many top-flight players own Smart instruments.
Lawrence always achieves great sonic results from the Engelmann spruce / Red maple combination, as evidenced by the open, dulcet voice on this mandolin. Clean workmanship with an earthy aesthetic that conveys the look and feel of a handmade instrument.This was a standout in our recent video shoot with Etan Setiawan, a potent A model that more than holds its own amidst its F-style siblings.
Condition: Brand New. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
