The Samois Swing Mandolin is the model that's most familiar to gypsy jazz enthusiasts. With a classic D-shaped soundhole, this instrument features greater bass response than the avarage mandolin, and a rich, full tone that makes itself heard in any ensemble.

The peghead is made from maple with a rosewood overlay, with product designer Greg Rich's distinctive Paris Swing logo in white pearl and gold leaf, and a stylized abalone/M.O.P. "Tour Eiffel" inlay.

The mandolin features select, solid AAA flamed maple back and sides, a flamed maple neck and a solid sitka spruce top. Each model is bound with tortoise-shell (natural models) or grained ivoroid (sunburst models) binding.
