Wide Nut Mandolin for Effortless Playability

If you are looking for a mandolin with added comfort and room for your fretting hand, our selection of F Model and F Body wide nut mandolins features instruments with larger nut widths than standard models. This slightly wider spacing can help players with larger hands, or those who prefer a bit more room for chord work and picking accuracy. Each F Style Mandolin in our collection pairs the classic scroll and f-hole design with wider string spacing for a balanced playing experience. Whether you play bluegrass or another style, an F mandolin with a wider nut can contribute to a more accessible and enjoyable feel.

Why Choose a Wide Nut or Wide Neck Mandolin?

A wide nut mandolin offers increased string spacing, making it easier for some players to move between chords and notes with fewer accidental mutes or buzzing. If standard-width mandolins feel cramped, our collection includes options from leading builders such as Eastman, as well as other respected makers. These mandolins combine traditional looks and proven F body design with a playing experience that can benefit both newer and experienced musicians. Many players mention that a wider nut makes playing more comfortable, helping with clarity on challenging passages both at home and in performance settings.
