The A-5 style mandolin

My Grandpa Goertzen was a mandolin player.  This style mandolin will always be, in my opinion, one of the best.  The f-holes help give the instrument a clear and punchy focus, and the interior volume helps keep the bass level up.  It's a well balanced classic Lloyd Loar design that I will forever love.  My mandolins are all solid construction, with maple back and sides and spruce soundboard.  I like both mahogany and maple for the neck material, the mahogany warms up the tone a little, whereas the maple seems to sharpen up the instruments voice.  French polished finish with a lacquer over top to keep it sealed and slick.  Mandolins are my love.  A style instruments start at $3500 and include a hardshell case.
