MONOPIA Ikegaku Mandolin

Features

Product Description:

This is an original model mandolin from Ikegaku, a long-established and trusted brand based in Ikebukuro, renowned in the mandolin industry. Despite being an entry-level instrument, it features a tightly grained spruce top and neck, offering specifications that surpass its price range. Each instrument is carefully adjusted by the store staff to ensure uncompromising quality. Compared to the major Suzuki M-30 model, this mandolin has a thinner finish, a thicker maple neck, and delivers the clear sound characteristic of maple wood. The thin finish balances resonance and durability perfectly.

Sound:

The instrument produces a well-balanced tone typical of a classic model, with a strong midrange that suits second-part playing.

Condition:

The string action is low and very easy to play, approximately 0.8mm at the 1st fret and 2.9mm at the 12th fret. The neck joint and tuning pegs remain precise and durable, ensuring long-term use.

Included:

A generic hard case with faux leather, which has experienced some hydrolysis but remains functional.
