This F-style mandolin was crafted by Dr. David Cohen, a luthier noted for his innovative cosmetic and structural designs. This mandolin has nicely figured claro walnut sides and back, a carved redwood top and Cohen's own Asymmetrical Radial bracing system, which was informed by the work of Michael Kasha. The binding on the body, neck, headstock and pickguard is curly maple. The ebony bridge is Cohen's own design. Thanks to pretty standard neck dimensions and a fingerboard with a gradual radius, this is a very easy mandolin to play, Thanks to the carved redwood top and walnut backs and sides, this mandolin has a warm, round bubbly tone, but there's no shortage of volume, projection or clarity. Includes a hardshell case.
