The Portuguese Mandolin 2 from the house of Thomann serves as your best bet if you are a Renaissance and Baroque music aficionado. This mandolin is suitable for both budding and professional musicians. The top of the mandolin is crafted from quality spruce, which provides rich and complex tones. If your musical style demands a wide dynamic response, spruce fulfils this requirement. The maple construction of the neck renders precise tones with tight lows. Maple stands strong in the face of environmental changes and is therefore widely preferred in the construction of stringed instruments. This mandolin can be tuned to gg-d`d`- -e``e``. This instrument comes with a lightweight case for easy portability.
