Description

New. 1 1/8″ nut. Oval Hole.

Handmade innovative mandolin by Tom Sheehy in Helena, Montana. Figured Maple binding. Cedar top. Maple neck. Sycamore back and sides. Jatoba wood fingerboard and bridge. Schaller tuners. Very nicely constructed.

We’ve had several of Tom’s hand made mandolins. They are the perfect blend of old world craftsmanship coupled with new materials and methods.

This one has an oval soundhole (the accompanying sound sample is with an f-hole version). Until we get recordings up you’ll have to take my word that the oval hole models are killers! With Tom’s design, the oval hole models seem to have a rich hearty sound that is projected very well.
This mandolin is built to last and plays and sounds great.
Comes with case.

Here is Billy Parker demonstrating.
