A vs F style mandolin instrument 

This is one of the most commonly asked questions when people first start shopping for mandolins instrument. Should I buy an A-style or an F-style mandolin?  And a great question it is! Especially when they look so different and most of the professional players that you see are playing F-style mandolins.

Differences in Sound of F-style and A-style mandolins

Some believe that F-style and A-style mandolins absolutely sound identical. 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.

What common ideas of mandolin?

“As a experienced luthier said, A-Style and F-Style mandolins are different. The scroll and points of the F-style add dampening to certain areas of the instrument that give it a more focused tone, while an A-Style can sometimes more easily lose the high registers under the louder low registers. The focused tone is why Bluegrass musicians prefer the F-style, not purely because of tradition or cosmetics. These differences do cater mainly to preference of course, and not every instrument will sound the same.
