At the top of the list of the Larrivee Mandolin's features is "Bark"...the oh-so illusive "Chunk" as well as the "Throatiness" that mandolin players seek. The sound is crafted through meticulous construction and a focused attention to the most minute detail. The traditional water stained sunburst brings out a stunning figure in our Master Grade Maple & Spruce, and it's all encased in a ultra-thin custom formulated varnish. Finish off that list with custom casted hardware including: tailpiece, tuners, and loar style bridge.
