Eastman MDA815-SB F-Style Mandola - Sunburst
The Eastman MD815 mandola offers classic “F” style design and construction, with a handcarved solid Adirondack spruce top, carved solid flame maple back and sides for stunning looks with ultimate projection and tonal definition. The lower tuning (CGDA), mellow tone and larger scale make this an easy instrument to play for a long time.
The sunburst finish is Eastman’s thin, nitro lacquer with multi-ply ivoroid binding on the top and back. A flame maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard and adjustable ebony bridge add distinctive appearance and playing ease.
We’re consistently impressed with Eastman’s attention to fit and finish on their mandolins, as well as their excellent tone. They don’t claim to be collectibles from America’s golden instrument-manufacturing era, but they offer great sound and looks at a reasonable price. We like that. A hardshell vinyl case is included.
