It's very rare that we're able to offer a new F5 mandolin from luthier Joe Campanella. Well, it's rare we have new Campanella mandolins in stock, period, and even rarer that we're able to convince Joe to indulge our scroll envy and spend the extra time it takes to produce an F5. This mandolin, with its European Spruce top and European Maple body, possesses a beautiful, complex voice that doesn't get in the way of itself in a small ensemble (translation: it's got harmonics aplenty for solo playing and woody articulation for cutting through a mix). If you're interested in a powerhouse F5 mandolin, and you're not afraid of bucking tradition, this Campanella will fit you like a well-worn glove. Priced with Bobelock hard case.
