Buyer Guide | Body Types

A-Style

Simplicity of design without sacrificing quality and tone. A-style or teardrop mandolins offer the benefit of a high-quality mandolin without the extra cost associated with F-style bodies. Its tonal brightness makes it a popular choice in the classical, folk, and Celtic genres.

F-Style

A bluegrass icon, and for good reason. F-style or Florentine mandolins are the epitome of fine craftsmanship and beauty. The ornate carved scroll adds mass to the instrument that helps create balance for a standing player.

Buyer Guide | Sound Hole Styles

F-Hole

Known for having more treble attack and percussive "chop" than oval hole instruments, F-hole mandolins are the first choice in ensemble settings where volume competition can be an issue.

Oval Hole

Oval-hole mandolins possess a throaty and vocal tonal characteristic that is wonderfully compatible with mandolin orchestras and Celtic/folk music. These mandolins also produce a perceived ambient reverb, due to the oval-hole opening lying directly below the courses of strings.
