CW – Think Archtop guitar meets mandola. Super cool cutaway prototype from Weber. This CW (CutaWay) model is the first-of-its-kind prototype mandola they made for the NAMM show this year. Big, warm and open sound like an oval hole with great projection and note separation. Awesome and unique.

With a upper bout of 8″, a lower bout of 12 3/8″, a body depth of 2 3/8″ and a 17″ scale length, the CW Mandola feels like a mini version of an archtop guitar, not a mandolin. Tuned CGDA low to high (same as a viola in the violin family and a octave higher than a cello or mandocello), it has that extra depth and nice midgrange tone that fits with all kinds of music.
