This mandolin strikes an amazing balance between ornate and reserved, with its lustrous tobacco sunburst and tortoise binding scheme, Birdseye maple back, and Weldon Lister engraved tailpiece. The sound is warm, rich, and detailed all at once -- these reserve-level Ellis mandolins have a rounder note attack, and while they can certainly hang in a bluegrass setting, they're an excellent choice for a player who transverses a lot of different stylistic ground. Priced with Calton case!
