A-Style Rogue Mandolins

From their unmistakable teardrop shape to their elegant yet modest design, A-style mandolins are a popular instrument that can be heard everywhere from 4-piece folk ensembles to 8-piece Irish punk bands. Many respected instrument brands specialize in their own models, but Rogue A-style mandolins are preferred more often than not by aspiring players. The reason is because Rogue concentrates on tone and playability rather than lavish, decorative appointments. The result is a line of A-style mandolins that are amazingly affordable, even when they're included in starter kits with other essential accessories.

Speaking of starter kits, Rogue offers more than one in this catalog. To "start" your search, check out the Learn-the-Mandolin Package. This kit comes with the Rogue RM-100A mandolin (in your choice of a black or sunburst finish) and includes a Mandolin Method book, Mandolin Chords Plus book and a stylish, durable fit-all mandolin gig bag. The Learn-the-Mandolin package is a top-rated item for good reason, and you'll quickly realize why after you pick it up and begin your musical journey.

In addition to kits for beginners, Rogue also offers a best-selling travel bundle that pairs an RM-100A with a Soprano Ukulele. Along with the uke and mandolin, you'll receive black 600-denier Cordura gig bags and chord books for both instruments. This Mandolin and Ukulele Travel Pack is perfect for camp-outs with family or even weekend back-porch jam sessions with friends.

And there are other choices that Rogue has to offer in this section. For those of you who just want the instrument itself, the RM-100 A-Style Mandolin can be purchased on its own here and you'll be amazed by its low price given its incredible workmanship, bright tone and easy-to-play neck. When you get right down to it, Rogue A-style mandolins are proof that you don't have to sacrifice quality for cost to enjoy a fantastic music making experience.
