The Mandolin ToneGard is one of the best accessories to come along for mandolins players. You might have seen your favorite mandolin player using one and wondered what it was. The ToneGard isolates the mandolin by suspending it away from your body. The difference is quite noticible with more volume and improved tone. Some of the top mandolin players use the Tone-Gard. David Grisman, Ricky Skaggs, John Reischman, Chris Hillman, Roland White, Radim Zenkl, Andy Statman, Mike Marshall, Dana Rath, Tom Rozum, Eric Thompson, Emory Lester, and many other artists.
The Tone Gard is made in California from "ceramic powder-coated", laser cut steel. There are rubber and leather pads to protect the finish. Please note: The Tone Gard is not recommended for soft varnish finishes. This Mandolin Tone Gard will fit most A and F-model mandolins. It will not fit the smaller Oval hole body styles.
