Big Celtic O

Sweet highs. Deep lows.

WHAT IT IS

The Big Celtic O is a handmade mandolin with a wide-open voice and rich sustain. It blends the warm, sparkling tone of a European oval-hole design with the clarity and depth you want for modern playing on stage, at home, or in the studio.

WHY YOU NEED IT

If you find most F-style mandolins too sharp or tight, this gives you more space in the tone. Fuller lows, sweeter highs, and longer sustain.

It’s slightly warmer than the Big Celtic F, with a bit more natural resonance. The kind of mandolin that rewards light touch and expressive playing, but still holds up when you dig in.

WHAT YOU GET

A fully handmade large bodied oval-hole mandolin.
Wide, open tone with a strong low end and clear highs.
Premium tonewoods and expert voicing.
Custom detailing and finish options available.
Comfortable, expressive, and deeply musical.
