From absolute beginners to time-served maestros - this mandolin is built for everyone. No matter who you are, you'll delight at the Union's comfortable, smooth playing action. It features a techwood fingerboard. This poplar-based laminate wood has been designed by Tanglewood to offer an incredibly sleek feel, minimising friction in your playing and allowing your hand to speedily glide up and down the mandolin's short scale. It's not harsh on your fingers, either - discomfort certainly won't be affecting how you play with this superb instrument.
The mandolin's renowned bowl-like body shape is optimally designed for full, ringing resonance. This Union Mandolin from Tanglewood features a teardrop body shape with "F"-shaped sound holes. Acting as a resonator, the teardrop body lets the sound waves of your playing reverberate around it, and projects those sounds out into the room through the sound holes. The result is a superbly natural, big voice that'll make sure everyone in your audience hears what you're playing. And for big venues, the Union Mandolin features a high-clarity pickup, letting you play through an amp at high volume levels.
