Over time, as the mandolin isn’t as comfortable to play, it is advisable to have a professional setup performed to bring it back to its stellar playing condition. Having a setup upon purchase of the instrument will demonstrate how it should ideally sound and play.

Whether a player is a beginner or a professional musician, having their mandolin professionally setup in the beginning and throughout the life of the instrument can make all the difference. This may be the reason why those who play bluegrass and country music commonly play the more focused toned F-style mandolin. While some believe the scroll and points make no difference at all in the sound of the instrument, others say the tone of the F-style mandolin can be affected by the instrument’s scroll and points, allowing for a more concentrated sound than the A-style. There are many types of woods to choose from and it’s something to consider when choosing a mandolin. While others, like maple, contribute a brighter, more trebly sound. Some woods, like mahogany, produce a strong, rich bass response.

Wood Choiceĭepending on the wood chosen in the creation of the mandolin, the tone of the instrument can be different. Others are adamant that the tone of each style can be different, depending on a few factors: the wood used in construction of the instrument, the F-style’s scroll and points and the benefits of a professional setup. Some believe F-style and A-style mandolins absolutely sound identical. There are passionate players and fans on both sides of the argument regarding sound differences. The F-style has an ornamental scroll in the headstock and close to the neck and two points on the lower body of the instrument, while the A-style usually has a plain, pear-shaped body and no points.īut what about sound? There are folks who adamantly believe there are sonic differences between the two styles and others who say the only difference is physical appearance. The two mandolin styles have obvious differences in the way they look. Fast forward to the early 1900s and the instrument was revolutionized by Orville Gibson, eventually evolving into two basic styles: Florentine (or F-style) and A-style. The mandolin (or mandolin-type instrument) has existed for millennia.
