Each mandolin I build is truly one of a kind. I don’t subcontract out any aspect of the building process. In the early stages I set up my jigs and saws to create the components for up to four instruments. From there the process is staggered allowing me to focus on each instrument and get the best out of the quality woods used. Whether its mixing the hide glue, shaping the tone bars, tuning the plates or sizing the sound holes, each instrument is given my total attention. I put my heart and soul into each instrument and it shows!
CUSTOM. I charge CAD$7000 (US$5000) for custom mandolins, I ask for a 10% deposit and encourage customer input. Items such as intricate inlay patterns or upgraded Tuners/ Tailpiece etc. will be an additional charge.
GAURANTEE. For the original owner only, any issue with the instrument, other than that caused by mishandling ( including a failure to keep the instrument properly humidified- 45% to 50% is good) or natural wear and tear, I will promptly remedy. Shipping charges to and from the point of repair is solely the owners responsibility.
Fin Mc Mandolins come in a Travelite case or a Standard Hard Shell case. Upgrades are an additional charge.
Payment must be made in full before shipping. Delivery within Canada and the United States is free.
