The Celtic style mandolin uses a standard 14" scale with a fully carved spruce soundboard, and a flat or carved back. The fingerboard is gently radiused. This is an instrument suited to a range of Celtic music with a sweet, yet cutting tone, with a body slightly deeper than an 'A' or 'F' style. An Allen cast tailpiece is standard, and Grover, Schaller or Gotoh tuners can be fitted. An option is a Presto fiberglass case The mandola uses a slightly larger body and an 18.5" (470mm) scale, which is the mandolin scale extended by five frets. |
