Just Arrived: Episode 10. Collings MT2 Mandola

Jordan spotlights the Collings MT2 mandola on this week's edition of Just Arrived. If you've had trouble finding a mandola with a bark and bite strong enough to play in an ensemble setting, look no further. Collings, as always, has got you covered. 

Collings MT2 Mandola - $5,400 

The Collings MT2 is Collings’ fully appointed mandola, with a torrefied Adirondack spruce top, and eastern flamed maple neck, back, and sides. The low C strings add a new world of musical possibilities, while its comfortable 15.9” scale length and rounded V neck allow it to be played just like a mandolin. Mandolas often have a hard time competing with other instruments in a band setting, but the Collings mandola has the power and growl to cut through and hold its own. The A-style body and dark sunburst finish give this model a timeless visual appeal to match that rich tone..
