Mandolin ROASTED set Back, Sides, and Neck
All pieces are roasted for improved stability and increase tonal quality.
Increased benefits of this process include but are not limited to the following;
Adds dimensional stability and resistance to temperature changes
Hydroscopic cellulose is sealed and humidity does not change wood dimensionally resulting in in resistance to movement and warp.
Stiffness, strength, and the integrity of the wood are better maintained.
Microstructure is similar to naturally aged woods
Hazardous chemicals are not used
In music woods customers indicate that Roasted Maple exhibits clearer tone and strength characteristics than regular maple.
Back size 1" x 5.625" x 16"
Side size .170" x 2" x 32"
Neck size 2" x 2.500" x 18"
This is a stock item and you will not get the exact piece in the picture.
We have natural non-roasted available, and custom sizes available also. Just give us the sizes and we will quote it to you.
You can also purchase just backs, just sides, or just necks if you wish.

I just finished my last 3 mandolins with roasted maple and they all sound like they have been aged for years. I will continue to use this until the customer says no.

Excellent product in appearance and tone with good volume.The only thing I would add would be an extra side piece as it is very brittle.
