Breedlove Quartz FF Mandolin

 

Mandolins have always been a favorite form of expression for Kim Breedlove, both as an experienced builder and as a player. When developing the Breedlove mandolin line a decade ago, Kim sought to produce designs that were completely unique, but also instant classics. With distinctive asymmetrical “K “shape bodies, these mandolins not only provide fantastic aesthetics, but they fulfill your most discerning tonal desires. With an open, full sound, the Quartz KO is perfect for styles ranging from Classical to Celtic Music. With fantastic sustain and unmatched projection, the Quartz FF will shine in a bluegrass setting and beyond! Choose the natural satin or upgrade to a satin sunburst finish and enjoy one of the best values available in handmade mandolins.
