Joseph Campanella Cleary builds exquisite, sonorous mandolins that draw deeply on violin design and aesthetics. While his use of overhung violin edges and deep, earthy colors visually distinguish his instruments, the most exciting aspect of Campanella mandolins is their sound.
Aided by its European spruce top and tone bar bracing, this Campanella A style has some serious pop, focus and power. Appointments include a James tailpiece, Grover tuners, Campanella's signature bell headstock inlay in abalone, and an ebony pickguard.
