Why Choose the OM10?
The spruce and mahogany combination gives the mandolin a bright, resonant, and projecting tone, making it ideal for bluegrass, folk, and Celtic music. Because it is strung and tuned identically to a violin (G-D-A-E in unisons), it is also frequently used as an alternative instrument for guitarists or as a supplementary instrument for violinists.
