Breedlove Mandolins

 
Breedlove Mandolin

 

              At the peak of their art form, and with a lifetime of experience in traditional mandolin design and construction, Steve Henderson and Larry Breedlove had a vision to build fine instruments...there own way. They moved to Oregon in 1990 and chose their team with the same care they select their materials.  Today, Steve remains chief designer and innovator, while Larry's older brother, Kim Breedlove, is a master luther and artist supported by other highly skilled luthiers whose passion and dedication are apparent in the quality and craftsmanship of each instrument they create.

Breedlove Quartz Mandolin

 
 
Quartz OF
 
Breedlove Quartz AF Mandolin
 We could not be more pleased with the tone and playability of this economically priced instrument.  This mandolin features a solid hand graduated spruce top,  carved solid flamed maple back and sides,  maple neck, as well as an ebony fingerboard and bridge.  The craftsmanship is very clean and the materials are flawless. Even better, the tone stands up to other "A" style mandolins in our store that are three times the price! 
Breedlove Quartz FF Mandolin
Quartz OO
 
Breedlove Mandolin
The Quartz OO model has similar features to the F-hole "OF" version but with an oval hole that seems to add a thicker, darker midrange.  This woody midrange appeals to some of our serious classical players as well as those involved in the Celtic idiom. 
Premier Series
Oregon
Breedlove Oregon Mandolin
The Oregon features a hand graduated carved spruce top with "F" holes,  carved highly figured curly maple back, flame maple neck with adjustable truss rod, ebony fretboard with suspended extension, high gloss lacquer finish and Monteleone cast tailpiece.
