Z Mandolins is the brainchild of Lee Zapis, a media executive and seed stage investor based in Cleveland, Ohio.  Hand-crafted and produced in a limited edition of just 50 instruments by Wolf Composites, a carbon fiber manufacturer based in Columbus, Ohio. The Z MANDOLIN, designed by Nate Biroschak from Wolf Composites and master stringed instrument tech Kurt Wright, is a modern interpretation of the classic F-Style mandolin.  It is a fully custom design utilizing traditional methodologies and advanced composite materials.

The Z MANDOLIN has only three main parts: a single molded composite body, the top/soundboard, and the fingerboard and produces a sound that is resonant, clear, and projects in every direction. And the sustain is beyond compare. These unique instruments will appeal to the player with a love of tradition and an eye towards the future.  Retailing for $4500 each, all profits from Z MANDOLINs will go to support the Lee & Ageleke Zapis Songwriting Scholarship at Belmont University's School of Music.
