How do I choose a good mandolin?
The best quality mandolins have soundboards hand-carved from solid pieces of spruce. Though many have arched tops, there are models with flat tops that are preferred by some players.
Both types may have beautifully figured wood that adds to the instrument’s aesthetics and cost.
What kind of mandolin should a beginner buy?
An A-style mandolin can have a pair of “F” shaped sound holes or a single “O” shaped sound hole at the center like the Kentucky KM-272 Artist Oval Hole A-Style Mandolin on our list.
This type of mandolin is typically easier to build than a F-style mandolin and this makes them less expensive.
