The fantastic mellow tones show the superior woods used in the Grand Appalachian’s crafting. This is reflected in the tone of each instrument. Choice selections of wood and detailed handcrafting are a few of the ingredients to each handmade string instrument.

The Grand Appalachian features an extended fretboard for more playability. Today’s models have 8 frets to give it the warmest possible tone. This increases the dynamic of the sound as well as range. Each one has a solid sapele body and a figured maple top. Or you can also select our purple heart which includes extra abalone inlay along the fingerboard.

This instrument would make a unique addition to any fine collection.
