Gewa Flat Mandolin Pro Arte Model 2 High Gloss

A "Portuguese" Mandolin: The Balance Between Tradition and Precision

The Portuguese flat-back format is sought after for its definition and dynamics, while remaining comfortable to hold. This Pro Arte Model 2 positions itself as a serious lutherie mandolin thanks to its solid woods and reliable hardware, with a glossy finish that highlights the maple and spruce.

For Which Musician and Styles?

With its 332 mm scale length and fully solid construction, this mandolin is aimed at demanding beginners as well as intermediate players who want an expressive and durable instrument. It is particularly suitable for traditional repertoires, folk, picking, as well as rhythmic accompaniments where the attack must remain clear and articulated.

Sound Characteristics

The solid spruce top provides a clear attack, good touch sensitivity, and a wide range of dynamics, ideal for precise phrasing. The solid maple back and sides promote a quick response, bright trebles, and excellent clarity of double strings. The carved solid maple back enhances the body's rigidity and contributes to more direct projection, with well-sustained sustain for melodies and arpeggios.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best out of your playing, a clip-on chromatic tuner and plectrums (from flexible to stiff depending on the desired attack) are simple and perfectly suited choices for an acoustic mandolin.
