Description
Here we have the brand-new Fintan McEnroe MC23 F-style mandolin from Fintan McEnroe, working in Toronto but originally from Ballyjamesduff, County Cavan, Ireland. The ‘23’ in the name refers to the mandolin serial number and production sequence. This fine instrument was very recently finished, in January of 2025, and its full serial number is 23-125 (23rd mandolin, January 2025).
The Fintan McEnroe MC23 is a traditional F-Style mandolin, with a carved Sitka Spruce top and Curly Maple for the sides, neck and carved back. The fingerboard and bridge are Ebony and the neck contains an adjustable truss rod. The body neck and head have double layer 'black pearl' binding with a nicely visible white purfling layer, and the inlays are a combination of Mother of Pearl and Abalone. The finish is a dark, hand-rubbed lacquer sunburst.
For hardware, a very nice set of Rubner tuners with Snakewood buttons and inserts are at the head, and at the other end there is a Golden Age tailpiece. The Ebony bridge is compensated for each string, and the nut is Bone.
The position markers are dots, and the headstock inlay set includes the 'Fin Mc' logo and a lovely vine inlay.
Overall the Fintan McEnroe MC23 is a very fine instrument, well thought out, cleanly and well built, with a very nice finish. And it sounds and plays as good as it looks!
The Fintan McEnroe FinMc MC23 is sold with its original lightweight Travelite hard shell case.
