From Austin Clark of Clark Mandolins: "Clark F5 mandolins are built based on Loar period Gibson F5 mandolins but also reflect my own opinions and style regarding the design. I am however, committed to using methods and materials proven over time to be both the best for sound quality and repairability. This includes using hot hide glue for most parts, compound tapered dovetail neck joints and two way truss rods for adjustability. 

I am a believer in varnish finishes. I currently use an oil varnish as I feel it is superior in sound quality and durability over varied environments. All of my F5 models are built with Adirondack Red Spruce tops and either Red Maple or Sugar Maple backs and sides."


Includes Crossrock hard shell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
