Made on the same framework as our HM series, but with smooth, classic f-holes and a sleek “snake” head! Skillful dynamic loading and old-school craftsmanship combine to deliver a surprising volume and purity of tone. Kluson Supreme tuners available by request for all mandolins. Our CM-1 and CM-2 models feature a choice of optional firestripe or tortoise pickguards.
