Why not spread the cost?
The Collings MT is the company’s entry-level A-model mandolin. However, it receives the same craftsmanship and attention to detail one would expect from a high-end Collings instrument. This example is upgraded with a baked Sitka Spruce top under a gloss finish. The baked top makes this mandolin open and responsive, with the character of an instrument with a decade’s-worth of playing time.
This mandolin has become a shop favorite due to its volume, sweet tone. and excellent playability. It has great chop, and could easily sit in with a bluegrass jam without getting lost in the mix. It also sounds right at home when played in a more melodic style, with each note leaping out of the instrument with a bell-like tonal quality.
