The Thomann 1-P Portuguese Mandolin adds a folk flavour to the musical ensemble with its traditional tones. It features a solid spruce top that creates a bright tone while still maintaining its warmth. The body is carved from solid maple tonewood that heightens the higher notes to add a bit of punch. This mandolin discreetly incorporates a high-performance pickup in its design. The pickup amplifies the tone and makes it strong in the midrange and low end. This mandolin has a scale length of 332mm that softens the sharp edges of the tone. The attractive design around the sound hole gives the mandolin an artistic touch.
