The body and neck are made from linden laminate, giving the instrument a light, manageable feel at around 1kg. The classic styling and rounded teardrop shape follow the format most players will recognise from folk, bluegrass and traditional playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitted with a hardwood composite fingerboard and matching bridge, the mandolin uses a floating adjustable bridge fed from a loop-end strung tailpiece. This setup lets you adjust the string height and intonation to suit your playing. Tuning is handled by two rows of four open-geared machine heads, arranged 4-a-side, and the instrument is strung and tuned in the standard mandolin layout of G, G, D, D, A, A, E, E across its four courses of paired strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nut width measures 30mm and the scale length is 345mm, giving comfortable spacing for both new and returning players. Overall dimensions are 270 x 690 x 80mm, so it packs down small and travels easily. As a plucked string instrument with paired strings, the mandolin works well for players moving over from guitar or those wanting a compact acoustic option for the home or on the go. The open-gear tuners hold pitch reliably and are simple to adjust when you restring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody and neck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLinden laminate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFingerboard \u0026amp; bridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardwood composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuning machine heads\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen gear, 4-a-side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTuning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG, G, D, D, A, A, E, E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNut width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e345mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e270mm x 690mm x 80mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.00KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tuning does the CTM28-RB use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is set up in standard mandolin tuning of G, G, D, D, A, A, E, E across four courses of paired strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the body made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body and neck are linden laminate, with a hardwood composite fingerboard and bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I adjust the action and intonation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
