Mandolins, we love them. Our Mia mandolin tops are made from solid carved spruce, and the back, sides and necks are made from solid carved figured maple. The necks are fitted with adjustable truss rods, rosewood fretboards and bone nuts. We can even install pickup systems too during your build. We build both A-style and F-style mandolins.
The Mia mandola's with their full rich bass tone take you back to a simpler time when the blend of mandolin, mandola, bass and stamping feet was all you needed for an all night party of dancing, jigs and joy. The Mia mandola's have a 17 inch scale length, solid carved spruce tops, solid carved figured maple back, sides and necks. The necks are fitted with bone nuts, adjustable truss rods, and rosewood fretboards. They come with oval or F-holes and can be fitted with pickups upon request.
Now it's time for the grown-ups to step up to the stage and play. Introducing the Mia F-Style Octave Mandolin. This grown up version of a mandolin has a 22 inch scale length, all solid carved spruce top, and solid carved maple back, sides and neck. The sound is so deep and rich, it will make a guitar weep for jealousy. The neck is fitted with and adjustable truss rod, bone nut and rosewood fret board. They come in the color of your choosing, and with oval or F-holes. And yes they can come with pickup systems as well. Engravings and pick guards are optional too.
The Mia FOT-9E F-Style Octave Mandolin has an internal dual position passive pickup. She also has a solid carved spruce top, solid carved figured maple back, sides and neck. The neck is fitted with adjustable truss rod, bone nut and rosewood fretboard. The finish is a hand rubbed oil and shellac. The sound of this octave mandolin is lyrical and big like a Baptist choir. The haunting Irish tones beg for a drum, fife and jig to join right in. The one in the picture is ready to ship. She is shown with a Pulaski finish, but you can order whatever color you like on your personal build. If you would like to order Check out our Gallery for ideas.

Howdy folks. I have here the new Mia A7 Star Trek Academy mandolin. Top is solid carved Spruce, and the back, sides, and neck are solid carved maple. The neck has a rosewood fretboard, adjustable truss rod, and bone nut. The mandolin is fitted with a custom hand carved maple compensated bridge. Available at clarindasmusic.com . This is the mandolin for the 24th century and your first issued instrument at Star Fleet Academy, or so I imagine.
This is the new Mia 2-Point Mandolin. Solid carved spruce top, solid flamed maple back, sides, and neck, rose wood fretboard, adjustable truss rod, bone nut, solid cast tail piece. She is also fitted with scalloped X tone bars. The finish is a hand rubbed oil and shellac. The color is a take on the fire storm I do on the F-Style mandolins I build here. This baby is smooth, loud and woody. Love this baby.
