Welcome to the Classical Mandolin Society of America web site!

CMSA members are found in nearly every state in the U.S. and 11 foreign countries. Our members play primarily mandolin, mandola, mandocello, guitar or bass and/or are teachers, conductors and composers of mandolin music. However, it's not even necessary to be a musician to be a member!

Since the CMSA was formed in the Fall of 1986, interest in classical mandolin has surged. It's the aim of CMSA to nurture the growth and assist those interested in pursuing the art of mandolin playing. Now, in our 24th year, CMSA remains at the forefront of things "mandolinistic" and we're pleased to invite you to join us!
