Tenor Mandola Vorraro

A voice that risked being lost — finally restored to its splendor.

The tenor mandola was born to restore order where confusion has reigned for decades. For too long, the alto mandola has been forced to live in the shadow of the mandolin, deprived of its true acoustic identity due to improper tunings and a scale length unable to support them.

The result? An impoverished tone, dampened harmonics, and a voice unable to express what it truly had to say.

This tenor mandola—designed from scratch by Vorraro, with no historical models to rely on—finally restores the instrument’s natural dignity. Here, the scale length is correct, the tuning is right, and its voice returns: clear, full, and present.

It is the instrument that puts an end to misconceptions, allowing the mandolin family to reclaim its tenor voice as it deserves: warm, expressive, and indispensable.
