Lawrence always achieves great sonic results from Engelmann spruce, as evidenced by the open, dulcet voice on this mandolin. His best reserve maple makes for a very special instrument, indeed.

Why We Love This

This Engelmann spruce-topped A-5 from Lawrence Smart is a potent example of why so many top-flight players own Smart instruments. Clean workmanship with an earthy aesthetic that conveys the look and feel of a handmade instrument. Lawrence always achieves great sonic results from Engelmann spruce, as evidenced by the open, dulcet voice on this mandolin. Smart paired that top with quite literally his finest, premium-grade Red maple back and sides, buttoning things up with a very nice varnish finish.
