Hora M1088-EQ Mandola RG2 – Solid Wood – Made in Romania

Experience the warm, rich voice of a traditional Romanian-built mandola with the convenience of modern amplification. The Hora RG2 M1088-EQ features a solid spruce top paired with solid maple back and maple sides, delivering excellent projection, clarity, and a balanced tone suitable for folk, Celtic, classical, and world music.

Equipped with an Artec FSE3 onboard preamp and pickup system, this mandola is ready for live performance or recording. The 3-band EQ allows you to shape your sound directly from the instrument, while the volume control and low-battery indicator make stage use simple and reliable.

Built by Hora in Reghin, Romania—one of Europe's best-known traditional stringed instrument makers—this model combines handcrafted construction with quality tonewoods sourced from the Romanian Carpathian Mountains. The woods are naturally seasoned for years before construction, and the water-based finish helps the instrument resonate freely for an open, lively sound.
