The Mandola Perfetta – Deluxe Edition is an exceptional tenor mandola that retains the unique appearance of the Mandola Perfetta, further enhanced with details inspired by classical instruments. Its relatively short scale has been designed to ensure optimal playability without compromising its surprisingly powerful sound.

Soundboard
In the Deluxe Edition, the soundboard is crafted from torrefied spruce, meaning it has been thermally treated. This process gives the wood a color very similar to that of naturally aged spruce and enhances its acoustic properties, resulting in greater responsiveness and tonal richness.
Bowlback with Continuous Figuring
The bowlback is made of 33 ribs of flamed maple, carefully selected and aligned during construction to preserve the continuity of the figure and highlight the natural beauty of the wood. The endpiece is outlined with a black purfling that blends seamlessly into the outer linings, creating a refined and harmonious visual flow.
Headstock and Custom tuning machines
Il falcetto è realizzato in acero marezzato, con scudo in madreperla. La Mandola Perfetta – Deluxe Edition monta meccaniche Alessi super leggere realizzate su misura con piastre in fibra di carbonio.
Decorative Details
The fingerboard, rosette, and armrest are adorned with mother-of-pearl inlays inspired by the distinctive design of the Mandolino Perfetto family of instruments, enriched with additional details exclusive to the Deluxe Edition, enhancing its elegance and identity.
