{"product_id":"collings-mt-gloss-top-mandola-new-25626","title":"Collings MT Gloss Top Mandola - New","description":"We ordered this MT Mandola from Collings with a gloss black top, a cosmetic touch that dates back to the 1890s. It features a seasoned Adirondack Spruce top and Eastern Flamed Maple back and sides. As you might expect, the Collings fit and finish is impeccable. This mandola not only has a great, throaty tone, it's also very playable thanks to a 15 7\/8\" scale length. With a little practice, you can even play your favorite fiddle tunes on it, and revel in those great low tones you just can't get from a mandolin. Mandolas are great for backing up a vocalist, as the mandola's range is much closer to the human voice, making simple fills and runs a welcome addition. And of course, if you play with other mandolinists, you can avoid stepping on your partner's parts and instead offer enticing deep-throated harmonies.","brand":"Collings Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46670447083719,"sku":"COLMTMNDGLIV-A4770","price":5100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1123721.jpg?v=1782248161","url":"https:\/\/www.gryphonstrings.com\/products\/collings-mt-gloss-top-mandola-new-25626","provider":"Gryphon Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
