A Style

American warmth. Celtic edge. One balanced voice.

WHAT IT IS

This A style mandolin blends the best of two worlds: the warm, woody bass you’d expect from a traditional American bluegrass mandolin, and the clear, strong treble of a Celtic instrument. It’s handmade for players who want a balanced, musical response across the range.

WHY YOU NEED IT

Many mandolins lean one way or the other. Either too thick and muddy down low, or too brittle and sharp up top. This model gives you a rich low end without losing clarity in the highs. Whether you’re playing rhythm, melody, or crossing styles, it adapts.

WHAT YOU GET

A fully hand-built A style mandolin.
Warm bass and focused treble.
Premium tonewoods, hand-voiced for clarity.
Built to perform in trad settings, bluegrass sessions, or your own hybrid style.
Custom options available for finish and detailing.

WHAT MY CLIENTS KNOW

They know that every instrument comes with a lifetime warranty. That it’s shaped by real-world experience with players who wanted something responsive, flexible, and reliable. The A style was designed to do the job. Whether you’re playing in a quiet room or on a busy stage.
