Classic Sound |
At Michael Kelly we put sound first. Unlike the other under $1,000 mandolins we have adopted the specifications and building methods of collectible classic mandolins. We start with a careful fit dovetail neck joint and a solid spruce top. These are the most important two points to mandolin tone. We use a thin top with carefully trimmed bracing. We do additional hand carving on select spots on the top. Thinning out specific areas to tune the top. We have also increased the depth of our mandolins compared to other mandolins for under a grand. The combination of detailed crafting, classic construction and best-in-class materials is what separates Michael Kelly from other similarly priced musical instruments. |
