Neoclassical

Neoclassical

The only American mandolin specifically designed for full sound with extra-light strings (up to Dr. Thomastik mediums) for mandolin orchestras, and also for easy playing of folk, jazz, Celtic, and modern classical music. Professionals are startled by its loudness and light weight, saying, "I can�t believe the volume with extra-light strings!" "So much easier (to play) I couldn't believe it," "I can comfortably reach the high double-stops," "rich and dark tone, a lyrical sound," "strong G strings," "you can hear the wood," and "amazing sustain."

Listen to Steve Trott play his Neoclassical on the recent CD "The Waters of Life" by the original Highwaymen. And for an excellent mandolin instruction booklet with a CD, check out Jim Dalton's Mandolin for Beginners where Jim plays and shows his Neoclassical (in spite of someone else's mandolin on the booklet cover).

I wanted to let you know that I am in highly condensed rehearsals for the upcoming Pittsburgh Mandolin Orchestra's Christmas concert. Rehearsal with the neo-classical is a dream alive. What a supportive instrument. I really appreciate it's response and transparency of tone. What a joy to play and hear. [Listen to Concert Clips]
