An A-style Mandolin Designed for the Stage

The A-1E Black Cherry embodies the spirit of "A-style" folk mandolins: a balanced, versatile design that is easy to handle. Here, the addition of a magnetic pickup and simple controls (volume/tone) makes it particularly suited for modern situations: rehearsals, concerts, or recording with quick and effective amplification.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

This mandolin is well suited for beginners seeking a reliable instrument that is ready for amplification, as well as intermediate players looking for a practical model to play in a group. Its folk character naturally fits bluegrass, folk, country, acoustic pop accompaniment, and melodic parts in traditional music.

Sound Characteristics

The laminated spruce top promotes a clear attack and good stability, with a balanced output useful for rhythm playing. The maple back and sides provide clarity and excellent definition, appreciated for highlighting double stops and fast runs. The S-shaped soundholes contribute to a precise and focused response, while the adjustable rosewood bridge helps to fine-tune comfort (action) and instrument balance. When plugged in, the magnetic pickup delivers a direct signal with a sharp attack and simple tone control for color adjustment.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To complement your daily playing, you can add plectrums (various thicknesses to refine attack) and a tuner (clip-on or pedal): two universal accessories perfectly suited for mandolin use, both acoustic and amplified.
