The Celtic O mandolin is similar in size to a Sobell Celtic mandolin. The design and construction is similar to my Big Celtic mandolin model, but the sound has more focus, with excellent projection.
The Celtic O mandolin back is curved rather than carved.
The instruments featured are a beautiful high gloss Small Celtic O mandolin in European spruce and flame jarrah, and a a satin finish prototype in European spruce and maple.
The Celtic O mandolin is shipped in a hard case, in a plywood packing crate.
