The A-style mandolin was a revolutionary instrument in its time with a radical new design that broke from traditional bowl-back instruments like Epi Stathopoulo’s father had made in Greece. Epi never stopped believing in innovation when it came to making great acoustic instruments. Today, A-style mandolins are still appreciated for their balanced tone and their ability cut through as a rhythm or solo instrument. The MM-30S deluxe style mandolin is made with that same spirit, offering mandolinists a century of heritage with the added touch of gold hardware. • MFSKU EF30ASGH1 • UPC 711106260402
