The Collings MT O Mandolin features an Engelmann spruce top and an Eastern flame maple back and sides. It also features a gloss black top with oval hole.
The MT O combines Collings affordable satin finish and simplified appointments with the same quality construction and tone woods as our fully-appointed A-style models. With a carved Engelmann spruce top and maple back and sides, the MT O produces a rich, woody tone that one would expect from a professional quality mandolin. The oval sound hole accentuates the bass and low mid response while providing a warm, open tonality that is rich in overtones.
While both models share the same body shapes, dimensions, and standard appointments, the Collings MT features f-holes on the top, while the MT O incorporates an oval hole design and voicing. The MT O accentuates the bass and low mids, adding warmth and openness, while the MT offers more cut and chop.
