A mid-range model produced by the Calace.
This is the only model in the No series that has engraved ribs, making it a very popular model.
▼About painting
This model is available in the following paint finishes:
[Lacquer coating]
This is a type of paint that is often used on mandolins, and Caracé has also traditionally used it. It offers better protection than shellac paint, and as it dries over time, the sound matures.
[Shellac paint]
It is possible to apply a thin hand-painted finish, which allows the wood to vibrate without interfering with the sound, and the instrument will resonate well even when new. However, the paint is very delicate, so care must be taken to maintain it.
Depending on the model, the entire surface may be shellac or only the top may be shellac or other lacquer.
☆Differences from No.15
[wood]
The quality of the wood, which has a significant impact on resonance, such as the top and back panels, has been improved, resulting in a richer sound.
[rib]
The number of ribs has been increased from 25 to 33 for a higher quality sound.
In addition, by adding engraving, we have achieved both resonance and durability.
[Shell decoration]
No.15 is a cyclamen design, but this model features an iris carnation design.
