Description

The Chord CTM28-TSB is a traditional teardrop-style mandolin finished in a warm tobacco sunburst with a gloss top. The body and neck are made from linden laminate, giving it a light, manageable feel at around 1kg. The fingerboard and bridge are a hardwood composite, which keeps the playing surface consistent and hard-wearing. It carries the classic styling many players expect from this instrument, so it suits both first-timers and those adding a mandolin to a wider set-up.

Tuning is handled by two rows of four open-geared tuning machine heads, arranged four-a-side. The strings run from a loop-end tailpiece to a floating adjustable bridge, which lets you set the height and intonation to suit your playing. The eight strings are tuned in pairs to G, G, D, D, A, A, E, E, the standard mandolin tuning. A 30mm nut width and 345mm scale length give a compact reach that works well for chords and single-note lines alike.

Overall dimensions are 270 x 690 x 80mm, so it packs down small and is easy to carry or store. The gloss finish adds a little shine over the sunburst colour without being fussy. If you want a straightforward acoustic mandolin with familiar looks and an adjustable bridge for setting your own action, this Chord model covers the basics well. It gives you a solid starting point for folk, bluegrass and traditional playing.
