The MF O combines our affordable satin finish and simplified appointments with the same quality construction and tone woods as our fully-appointed F-style models. With a fully carved Adirondack spruce top and maple back and sides, the MF O produces a rich, woody tone that one would expect from a professional quality mandolin. The oval sound hole accentuates the bass and low mid response while providing a warm, open tonality that is rich in overtones, while the f-hole models offer more cut and chop in comparison.

MF O vs MF5 O

While both models share the same body shapes and dimensions, the MF is a fully-satin lacquer finish mandolin with simple appointments.  The MF5 O is a highly-appointed F-model, featuring an all-gloss lacquer finish on the body and neck, ivoroid binding on the top, back, fingerboard, and peghead, and our Flourish peghead inlay.
