Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

Ever tire of brown? We know there are romantic name variations like Cremona or Tobacco-burst, but let's review...
Cremona: a town founded in 218 BC by the Romans, featuring construction that hasn't progressed since Medieval times.
Tobacco-burst: the color of a known carcinogenic plant.

Perhaps it's time for mandolinists to abandon the Middle Ages and imminent death and open up our instruments to some current hue.

Pumpkin
Blue-burst
Salmon Rose

For some other really cool finish options, visit the Rigel Custom Gallery.
A mandolin without a really cool color is like a kiss without a mustache...
