Following is the writeup from their site:

Our newest model – Tailwater TW-A5 – is made with a teardrop body, using the same hand-carved solid woods, finish, and exacting precision as our TW-F5 mandolin.
We enlarged the body slightly from a standard A5 mandolin and tuned it for a responsive, open, and rich sound.
To enhance midrange and bass, the Tailwater TW-A5 body has been widened by 5/16 inch at its broadest point and minor adjustments are made to the depth as well. These changes are proportionate, resulting in a slightly larger body.
The re-curve on the top has been extended slightly, and the edges of the top have been thinned.

While the differences may not be immediately noticeable unless compared back-to-back with a standard A5 model, the impact on sound is significant.
This design emphasizes the richness of the mid and low registers while delivering a strong chop and clear high frequencies.
Please note: if you wish to add a Tone-Gard to your Tailwater TW-A5, you will need the VintageGard style that accommodates a larger body.
