Players who want a mandolin they can take from the rehearsal room to the stage, and into environments that would make them think twice about carrying a traditional wooden instrument, will find the KLOS A-Style Mandolin DAE built around that freedom. KLOS has made carbon fiber the foundation of its approach to instrument building, using the material to create instruments designed for consistency, durability, and dependable performance through changing temperatures and humidity. Drawing on the experience of producing thousands of instruments, KLOS applies that philosophy to the familiar A-style mandolin in a decidedly modern way.

Rather than treating carbon fiber simply as a substitute for wood, KLOS builds the body and neck as an integrated one-piece carbon fiber structure. The result is a mandolin intended to remain stable while still delivering the quick response, projection, and note separation players expect from the format. Its traditional 13.87" scale and A-style proportions keep the playing experience familiar, while a composite ebony fingerboard, adjustable ebony bridge, and precision PLEK-dressed stainless steel frets introduce decidedly contemporary performance features. Those qualities make it an intriguing choice for bluegrass, folk, Americana, Celtic music, acoustic ensembles, worship settings, touring, outdoor performances, and players who simply want a low-maintenance mandolin that can be played regularly rather than carefully stored away.

The Full Carbon construction gives this KLOS its own acoustic personality, with an immediate response and clarity that can help individual notes remain distinct during fast picking, chordal accompaniment, and ensemble playing. Twin F-style soundholes retain a visual and functional connection to traditional mandolin design, while the K&K electronics make it easy to carry that acoustic character into an amplifier, PA, or recording system. KLOS Featherlite Pro hardware, stainless steel frets, and the absence of a conventional truss rod further reflect an instrument engineered around the inherent stability of its materials. It is a meeting of two very different eras of instrument making: the traditional A-style mandolin format and a modern carbon fiber construction designed for musicians who expect their instrument to go wherever the music takes them. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this out-of-the-box mandolin comes with a gig bag for convenient transport and quality protection.
