Product Description

Description

The McNeela Irish Mandolin (A-Style)

“Very lovely mandolin! Excellent quality, great looking, overall 10/10.” - Julia

This Irish mandolin is a flat back, A-style mandolin, and features a spruce body with oval sound holes.

The oval holes that A-style mandolins have will usually have a warmer, more woody tone and produce greater sustain and resonance than F-style mandolins.

And traditionally, oval hole mandolins are more commonly associated with Irish trad and folk music, whereas F hole mandolins are more usually found in bluegrass.

This beautifully crafted Irish mandolin is a perfect starter instrument for anyone looking to pick up a mandolin for the first time.

Its bright, clear tone makes it ideal for playing Irish trad, and its compact size means it’s comfortable to play and easy to transport, without in any way compromising on volume.

And you can choose between the Sun Burst and Natural Wood finish.

Watch the video below to see Elaine Reilly demonstrate its remarkable qualities.

KEY FEATURES

Impressive in the Lower Register

One of the reasons Irish trad players lean towards an A-style mandolin rather than an F-style mandolin is because of its warmer, woody tones, which are particularly impressive in the lower register.

“I ordered a Dulcimer and a Mandolin for my daughter for Christmas, both arrived (to Australia) very quickly, and she is thrilled with them both. Very happy.” - Trevor N.
