Luna Moonbird F Style Mandolin w/ Piezo

Full Description

Spruce & Maple Soundboard

The Luna Moonbird A Style is crafted from spruce, maple, mahogany, and maple. The spruce soundboard delivers a wide, very usable, dynamic tonal palette. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm mid-range, and bright highs. The maple back and sides produce crystal clear clarity, offers a wide range of response, and sings bright highs, with a strong upper midi-section.

Mahogany Neck & Walnut Fingerboard

The mahogany neck is topped with a walnut fingerboard that delivers a bright warmth, and sparkly highs that really shine through when using finger picking techniques. The neck produces a rich tone that blends beautifully well with the walnut fingerboard's bright tone. The reason why many instrument necks are made from mahogany is because the wood responds greatly to picking styles, strumming, and various finger techniques with equal ease.

Piezo Pickup

The Luna Moonbird Mandolin comes equipped with a piezo pickup, which is attached to the string retainer point on the floating bridge. The piezo's sound is created by the pickup itself, not by the induced voltage of a magnet. Once plugged into an amplifier, players can achieve a clear and harmonic sound.
