Spruce-topped mandolin has excellent sound projection
For optimal projection, the Washburn M1S mandolin is fitted with a spruce top. Spruce has long been used in instruments ranging from violins, guitars, and mandolins for its bright sound and great projection. An expertly fitted rosewood bridge makes full contact with the spruce top to capture and transfer the string vibrations of every note you play on the Washburn M1S mandolin.
Maple back and sides deliver classic mandolin tones
Maple has been the choice wood for the back and sides of instruments such as the mandolin and violin. Not only does it look great but it adds a brightness and volume that other woods don’t. The Washburn M1S mandolin sports maple back and sides to deliver outstanding acoustic tones.
Since 1883, Washburn has been producing fretted instruments
