8-String Canadian Spruce Mandolin with Mother of Pearl Inlay
This item is the second of a series of incredible custom made instruments we have acquired. This beautifully-inlaid 8 string Mandolin was designed by Luthier Antonio Sai in the early 2000s.

After choosing only the best materials, three months were spent crafting the fine instrument. It produces a beautifully bright, sweet sound with plenty of volume. It was painstakingly hand-inlaid with several hundred pieces of abalone and mother-of-pearl featuring an intricate phoenix design. Side & Backwood: Maple/Acacia Koa. Top Board: Solid Canadian Spruce.

Tailpiece: Casted Brass, Steel strings, 24 Frets. Neck width at nut: 3.3cm. What does a mandolin sound like? Hear what the lucky owner of the first mandolin said.

He has never seen such a beautifully crafted instrument so our time together was spent sharing it. Sorry, raving but that is how I feel. Thank you so much for making this lovely instrument available.
