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."

February 24, 2007 | Royale Review

We've had a little over a month now to get friendly and familiar with the new Draleon Royale Gypsy Mandolin from Century Strings. The staff has passed it around for careful scrutiny, and the verdict is in--this ax is a winner!

The instrument holds a profound and significant market position in mid-level professional gear, and scores even better with innovative design and aesthetics. Some mandolins are fun to play just because they look good; this one if fun because it also performs. It's unique Gypsy homage goes beyond the charm of its cosmetic appeal; it plays well and interacts intuitively on any player's lap.

We've adopted the Royale as the signature instrument of the JazzMando website, and look forward to many years of enjoyment with this instruments. Way to go Alex Phan, Gordon Roberts, and Andy Panayides of Century Strings! This is a truly ground-breaking instrument!
