Which style of mandolin do you prefer?

[@michaelhutchens4243]

I think the F style is the most beautiful of the three. I play an A style with f holes just because of the difference in $

[@fireaxb4501]

Same

[@slpc30]

Ive always wanted to learn the mandolin . that f style is beautiful

[@jimanddianem895]

I bought a Kentucky A style mandolin. I had a budget I was working with and the A style gave me the most bang for my buck. Plus I played an A style and an F style Kentucky mandolin and couldn’t hear enough difference to justify expanding my budget for the F. YMMV 🙂

The one I'm playing!

[@lancel71]

Awesome sounding instruments!🤘

[@mikevaluska7313]

THE SOUND IS PRETTY SIMILAR. BUT F WINS THE BEAUTY CONTEST.

I like the "A" style oval hole.

[@Darltornjacket]

A hands down

[@waynebagley]

I am a A shape fan. Both oval and f holes.

Don't hate me but I prefer the original Concert Style Bowl Back Mandolin. Be nice if I could afford one made by an Italian Master Luthier. Best!

[@AcousticShoppe]

Hey, I wouldn't mind adding one of those to a collection either!

[@shawncooke3629]

Vega bowlback

[@SamFugarino]

F Style, no doubt. But the As bring a lot of value

[@Tommy-Art-Strong]

Is A style ever played in Blue Grass or would they kick you out of the band?😊

[@f5mando]

Ask Tim O'Brien or Joe K Walsh! Both have had enormous success with 'A' model mandolins in bluegrass.

[@Tommy-Art-Strong]

@@f5mando Yup, nice!..Thanks😊

[@farmpunk_dan]

Ok but you only played one of them lol
