Troublesome Creek Honeybee HM-1 Mandolin – Cherry

Our new “flat top mandolin” is anything but flat! With clarity and punch that strongly emulates its carved siblings, this little powerhouse transcends all others in its price range. Our hot hide-glued “Spidercone” X-bracing system forms the Appalachian Red Spruce soundboard into a pronounced, effectively graduated dish, giving these little guys a voice unlike anything else on the market today! Arched fingerboards, adjustable necks and fluid, hand-carved “Caterpillar” bridges ensure playability, honey-sweetness and sustain. Kluson Supreme tuners available by request for all mandolins. Our HM-1 and HM-2 models feature a choice of firestripe or tortoise pickguards.
