Product Description

Description

Antonio Carvalho Electro Acoustic Mandolin MDL308

Key Benefits:

  • Clear Sound Amplification: High-quality electric pickups for reliable sound during solo practice or performances.
  • Durable, Quality Materials: Solid spruce top and koa back and sides for a rich, resonant tone.
  • Comfortable Design: Flat back for easy playability, especially suited for beginners.
  • Natural Sound Finish: Open-pore finish allows for a resonant, authentic tone.

The Antonio Carvalho Electro Acoustic Mandolin is a product culminating decades of skilled craftsmanship by António Pinto Carvalho, a renowned luthier from Portugal. Founding APC Musical Instruments in 1976, António and his family have been dedicated to creating high-quality instruments by combining traditional and modern construction techniques. As such, this is a mandolin that looks and sounds incredible for any mandolin player at any level.

Enhanced Sound Clarity

This mandolin features a high-quality electric pickup that ensures clear, consistent sound during practice or performances. You can depend on its rich, vibrant tone for any setting.

Durable, Premium Build

With a solid spruce top and koa back and sides, this mandolin provides warm, resonant tones while offering long-lasting durability. It’s built to stand the test of time and frequent use.

Comfortable Playability

The flat-back design makes the mandolin comfortable to hold, making it especially suitable for beginners. It’s crafted to ensure ease of play during extended practice or performances.

Traditional Steel Tuning

The mandolin is fitted with steel strings tuned to pairs of EADG delivering bright, clear tones that are absolutely perfect for plucking the tunes of traditional Irish music. This setup ensures a balanced, long-lasting sound that holds tuning well over time.

A-Style vs. F-Style Mandolin

The Antonio Carvalho Electro Acoustic Mandolin is an A-Style mandolin, known for its simple, teardrop-shaped body. Compared to the more ornate, swirling design of the F-Style mandolin, A-Style models like this one focus on a minimalist design that offers great playability without the extra scrolls and curves. While F-style mandolins are often chosen for their visual flair and bright snappy tone, A-style mandolins provide a deeper yet rich sound and tonal quality, making them an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned players.

"The mandolin is a magnificent piece of craftsmanship, and after tuning, the sound is amazing. I have been running my fingers through a couple of polkas and jigs! I am very happy with this." - Laurance K.
