Mandolin Model

Available in both F and A style mandolins, I take great pride in constructing these fine works of art.  Made with seasoned woods cut specifically for making archtop instruments, along with the highest quality hardware.  Whether you are looking for a traditional Loar styled example or an updated modern design, a Madsen Mandolin can be custom made to meet the moment.
