This mandolin was hand-carved in China by the luthiers at Afanti, makers of a wide variety of musical instruments.  This mandolin specifically was made for Mando Mo Strings out of Holyoke, Massachusetts.  Attention to detail is the name of the game  with this mandolin.  Not only hand carved, but constructed with 3 year old air-dried maple and spruce, abalone and mother of pearl inlay, binding on top and bottom and high quality tuners.  It comes with a solid tailpiece and a Brekke adjustable bridge.  It's strung with high quality hand-wound Optima strings (Goldin).  Adam has personally been playing one very similar to this and says it is hands-down the best mandolin he's had the pleasure to play, ever.  And that's high praise.  He's played just about every mandolin brand including some Gibson Lloyd Loars!
