The GM-10 Frypan pays homage to the beloved Flatiron M2 mandolin, originally created in the late 1970s and inspired by the early Army/Navy-style mandolins built during WWI. Known for their light weight, slim profile, and bright, sparkling tone, these instruments became a favorite for backpacking and casual music-making.
Gold Tone has captured the spirit of the classic Flatiron design with the GM-10, offering an all-solid wood flattie at an affordable price. Weighing only 1.8 lbs., it’s extremely portable and ideal for both beginners and experienced players seeking a fun, lightweight mandolin. The solid spruce top provides a broad tonal range, while the maple back and sides reflect and amplify with clarity. With its mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, striped tuner buttons, gloss finish, and included hard-shell case, the GM-10 combines tradition with modern reliability.
Best For
Mandolinists wanting a lightweight, travel-ready instrument, history enthusiasts seeking a Flatiron-inspired flattie, and players who want solid wood construction at an entry-level price.
