Product Description

Description

 The McNeela F-Style Mandolin

“This instrument is a beautiful piece of work” - Bill P.

This is a beautifully crafted, impeccably balanced classic F-style mandolin, with the distinctive swirling scroll at the top and the two extra points down the other side.

And it comes in a choice of two glossy finishes, in either Sunburst or Natural Wood.

When Orville Gibson created his famous mandolins at the turn of the 20th century, the A-style was the more basic model, and the F in the F-style was for ‘fancy’, because of the elaborate handiwork required to produce it.

Today, the F is for Florentine (and A is for artist) but the result is the same. An F-style mandolin is a more ornately crafted instrument that’s had more work put into it, and is one that produces its own particular sound.

An F-style tends to be louder and brighter, with a punchy quality that means you can really get it to stand out when playing as part of a group.

It’s come to be associated with Bluegrass, but that’s really only because of Bill Monroe’s passion for his Gibson (Loar) F-5.

You’ll fit in just as well at an Irish trad session when you take out an F-style mandolin that sounds as distinctive and impressive as this one does.

Product highlights

Continuing The Proud Tradition

The design for this hand crafted F-style mandolin was very much inspired by the iconic Gibson mandolins from the early 20th century. There’s a reason why Gibson became the most famous name in mandolin making; it’s because of the way they looked and sounded. This F-style mandolin has been given a similarly timeless look and produces that classic F-style sound.  

A well built and beautiful instrument that sounds great with easy action.- Anthony W.

Stand Out at Irish Trad Sessions

This F-style mandolin gives you a sound with impressive heft and volume and is the perfect instrument for any of the more rhythmic, percussive tunes you get in Irish trad, most notably when playing jigs and reels. While it’s equally well suited to North American folk music.

Amazing instrument, perfect companion for my McNeela fiddle! It’s a really beautiful piece of craftsmanship, gorgeous details, very happy with my purchase.- Lucia M.

Built For The Ages

The top is built from spruce which is a tonewood that has high stiffness but low density, which makes it particularly well suited for stringed instruments. While the body has the classic F-style form, with the scroll and those two points down the side, and we’ve added additional scrolls onto the headstock.

It is a really beautiful, well crafted instrument. I love it! Service to the US was fast and it came extremely well protected, I highly recommend it.- LC
