Speranski Australia was a brand of handcrafted mandolins distributed in Australia. The mandolins were built in China from design by Australian Victor Speranski. Solid carved spruce was used for top decks in SPB, SFB and Custom models. Speranski mandolins had a rich sound that tended to get better over the years.[1][2]
Models
The brand introduced a number of models including:
- Speranski Australia A-Style Mandolin
- Speranski Australia F-Style Mandolin (SF, SFB, SPB and Custom models)
Tilia (also known as basswood or linden) composite materials were used for making top decks in SF models and solid carved spruce in the SFB and SPB models instead of spruce ply used by most other manufacturers.
