"I draw inspiration from the classical Italian violin making tradition, my training, and personal exploration and study of modern lutherie. I build instruments which are powerfully voiced, yet transparent to the will and skill of the player."
~ Joseph Campanella
The ID-based luthier has left an indelible mark on the mando-sphere with his instantly recognizable violin-style construction (and that's to say nothing of the beautiful, warm tone associated with his instruments).
We are the exclusive retailer of Joseph Campanella Cleary's wonderful mandolins and only get a few Campanella instruments each year, so check back often or contact us if there's nothing in stock.
Exclusivity & Rarity
Each mandolin is handcrafted in Boise, ID by Joseph himself, with only a handful completed each year. That level of care and scarcity makes every Campanella feel truly one-of-a-kind—and why we’re proud to be the exclusive retailer for his remarkable work.
A Voice All Their Own
Tonally, these instruments lean toward warmth, depth, and complexity. They have a beautiful sustain and richness that sets them apart from brighter, more cutting mandolins, making them ideal for players seeking an instrument that sings with nuance and character.
Violin-Inspired Design
Campanella mandolins stand out immediately thanks to their violin-style construction - arched plates, overhung edges, and varnish finishes. This approach not only gives them a distinctive, elegant look but also contributes to their warm, woody resonance that feels more orchestral than typical mandolins.
