Bulas Carpathian Spruce/Curly Maple Cremona Sunburst Octave Mandolin #4102

This Bulas octave mandolin brings a deep, expressive voice that feels both powerful and refined. The selected Carpathian spruce top gives it a clear and responsive tone, while the curly maple back, sides, and neck add definition and projection. The longer 22 inch scale helps each note ring with authority, and the high gloss Cremona sunburst finish brings out the natural beauty of the maple with a warm, reddish glow.

The ebony fingerboard feels smooth and substantial, shaped with a comfortable 12 inch radius and a wider 35 millimeter nut that suits the spacing needed for octave tuning. White mother of pearl dots keep the markers clean and easy to read, and the Jack’s Creek inlay adds a personal artistic touch. Maple binding around the top, back, fingerboard, and peghead ties everything together with a traditional look that pairs well with the classic f-hole design.

Rubner tuners with ebony buttons offer precision and a solid feel, and the satin brass hardware matches the cast Bulas octave tailpiece for a cohesive aesthetic. The instrument speaks with clarity and warmth, making it a great choice for players who want the range of an octave mandolin without sacrificing playability. It comes protected in a Hiscox Futeral case, ready for stage, session, or home playing.
