“Macdara Ó Faoláin recently made a mandolin for me. Ordering the mandolin from him was very easy, and he used his expertise to make the right recommendations for a great instrument. He was always very prompt in giving me updates about the progress he had made on the mandolin and provided pictures of the build. It was nice to see the process of him refining his design as the build progressed, and I think that this ultimately contributed to the high quality of this mandolin.
When the mandolin arrived, he had packaged it securely in its case. The mandolin itself is beautiful and has an amazing sound. A friend of mine with whom I frequently play trad always comments about the beautiful sound that the mandolin has. I have now used it in a number of different performances and on several recordings where both the internal pickup and a mic can capture different aspects of its tone. This mandolin is easily my favorite that I have played on, and I consider myself lucky to own it. Thank you very much, Macdara!” ~ Ian |
