Weber "Custom Celtic" Hyalite Octave Mandolin (2011)

There is no denying that Bruce Weber is among the legendary names of the mandolin construction world and this simple but elegant custom Weber Hyalite Octave Mandolin is a great reminder why. A satin Buckskin colored finish adorns a beautiful tight grained spruce top and highly figured maple back and sides while the tasteful grained ivoroid binding wraps the soundboard and triangle (or sometimes referred to as D shaped) sound hole.

Tonally this piece is rich and full bodied with ringing overtones and a deep bass- everything you would expect out of an exquisite Weber Octave Mandolin. Although designed for Celtic playing the Hyalite could also fit excellently into a classical mandolin ensemble or in a bluegrass group looking for a little different should.

The instrument is in excellent condition with only slight signs of play and also includes the original hardshell Weber case.
