A modern marvel of an oval-hole mandolin, and Girouard's finest "Concert" level appointments. Sound and beauty in consanant harmony!

Whether your tastes lean Celtic to classical, old-time to all manner of global folk and jazz styles–this Girouard oval-hole A will take you there.

For years now, we have watched the evolution of Girouard Mandolins from a well kept secret among New England celtic and old-time musicians to a highly regarded builder with national and even international appeal. We have been fortunate to bear witness to their growth and well deserved success!

All of this leads to this Girouard Concert A, one of the finer modern oval-hole mandolins available today, boasting top-shelf materials and appointments throughout. This mandolin features a wide open, very three-dimensional sound, with rich sustain, full, warm bass register, and dulcet trebles—all signature attributes of Girouard builds, but particularly noticeable in the oval-hole models. If you have been searching for a great, contemporary oval hole that balances fullness of tone with clarity and sparkle, this Concert A is worth considering, while it lasts.

We sold this mandolin new earlier this year. Every once in a while circumstances lead to something exceptionally good and in excellent condition coming back our way. Such is the case here.
