Andrew Mowry makes an exceptionally strong arched-top octave mandolin. We have known about his instruments for years, and have been eagerly anticipating this one for a while now. It was worth the wait!

This guitar-bodied octave mandolin has a bold, full acoustic voice. The 14" body is Andrew's most popular size, and sits very comfortably on the lap. The scale length falls in a sweet spot for many octave mandolinists: long enough to enable a powerful sound, yet short enough to facilitate comfortable reaches in first position. Whether playing mandolin melodies down an octave, or as a songwriter's refined rhythm instrument, this mando is an absolute blast to play. Once you pick it up, it is very hard to put down.

Mowry's impeccable build quality also merits special attention here. Mowry stands as an equal among a small cadre of top-flight contemporary mandolin-family luthiers operating at a very high level, making superb, and exceedingly enjoyable instruments built to last many lifetimes.

Priced with hard case. Note: photos show a previously sold example. New pics on the way! Call for more info.
