Call it A-style, teardrop or Celtic. It is a beautiful mandolin that can shine in a variety of musical styles. The Trinity College® Celtic Mandolin is a brand new design for those who prefer the flat top and back mandolin. This type of mandolin has traditionally been used for Celtic, Blues, Old-Timey, Brazilian music, and various other styles. The goal of the designers at Trinity College was to create the highest quality instrument of its type--an instrument suitable for any professional artist--but priced considerably lower than the prices that the current "boutique" makers ask for their instruments of similar quality.

The finest solid tonewoods are selected for the TM-250. Choice spruce and select maple make up the body and the neck is solid mahogany--reinforced by an adjustable truss rod that keeps the neck in perfect alignment. A gleaming natural finish and a unique Celtic peghead design in pearl add to the physical beauty of the mandolin that sets the new standard for the flat-top instrument--the new TM-250 by Trinity College!
