The top is solid; doesn’t say the rest is.
Thomann is of course a huge dealer, like GC in the US. They have first rate customer service, and a liberal return policy.
Unlike Silly, I’ve bought from them for years with never a problem. Of course, I am in Germany, so maybe the organization works better here.
Gewa is a German reseller. I have a Gewa mandolin (branded ‘Tennessee’) which is comparable to the mandola above. It’s not an F5 but it is fine, really. Decently made, decent sound. Plays well.
