Description
Max and Lauri's instruments have been all the buzz lately, and this is a fine example of the high level workmanship coming out of their shop. The Ensemble sits right in the middle of their model line and features some snazzy upgrades like a fully bound body, and a cast Allen tailpiece. This one has a growling low end and a powerful chop, perfect for bluegrass and other high powered ensemble playing. The hand applied burst is coated by a thin varnish finish. This is tons of mandolin for the money and should not be over looked if you are in the market for a professional level instrument that can keep pace with the other well known names out there. Priced with a hardshell case.
