MOP headstock inlay, hearts and flower position markers, two way adjustable truss rod, and chrome plated hardware are standard equipment The popularity of the Irish Tenor is increasing dramatically as mandolinists now can include a four-string banjo in their instrument collection. The IT-250 is designed for a plunky tone sought after in Irish music. The 17 fret neck utilizes heavier strings and is tuned GDAE octave below mandolin.
