The Teardrop
Options for the Right Sound
Known for having more treble attack and percussive “chop” than oval hole instruments, F-hole mandolins are the first choice in ensemble settings where volume competition can be an issue. Oval-hole mandolins possess throaty and vocal tonal characteristics that are wonderfully compatible with mandolin orchestras, and Celtic/folk music.
