The Pilgrim brand has made a name for itself in the field of stringed instruments by building high quality banjos. However, it has gradually transferred its experience in this field to the manufacture of other stringed instruments, always with the same result: creating very high quality instruments with great sound at affordable prices. This octave mandola is particularly suitable for use in Irish or Celtic traditional music, for example, but it will also find its place in bluegrass and country styles.
The mandola is to the mandolin what the viola is to the violin. It has an overall deeper and fuller sound due to its deeper tuning. With this particular mandola, a very high quality production is achieved by using a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides. This is a combination of materials that is widely used, for example, in more expensive professional guitars. Thanks to the reliable mechanics and the ebony and bone headstock, this mandola will also hold its tuning very well. Overall, this is a professional sounding instrument, but one that won't rob you of all your savings.
