The Michael Kelly Mandolins clearly excel from that pedigree.
Michael Kelly is proud to offer the widest variety of mandolins available. Since we own our own factory, every Michael Kelly mandolin is built with care to produce the best tone possible. All Michael Kelly mandolins, from the least expensive to the most, feature solid wood construction. Michael Kelly mandolins are truly "Built on Sound".
A Michael Kelly masterpiece, that is how you might describe the Legacy Eleganté. This top of the line model has every upgrade available in appearance and tone. As with all MK mandolins we start with a solid hand carved spruce top. On the Eleganté however our craftsman spend more time carefully carving and graduating the top for the best possible sound.
The back and sides are all solid flame maple and the fingerboard is hand selected premium ebony. With this no-compromises instrument you will also get our new upgraded solid tailpiece that has more mass for increased tone and a design that eliminates rattles and makes string changes faster and easier than ever before. The Eleganté is topped off perfectly with stunning flame maple binding. This exotic wood accent allows the Eleganté to stand out from the crowd in looks as well as with its big booming tone.
