The Eastman MDA315 mandola offers classic "F'' style design and construction, with a handcarved solid spruce top, carved solid maple back and sides for stunning looks with ultimate projection and tonal definition. The lower alto tuning (CGDA), mellow tone and larger scale make this an easy instrument to listen to and play -great for players with larger hands/ fingers.
The classic finish is Eastman's thin, matte lacquer with multi-ply ivoroid binding on the top and back. A maple neck with 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 padded gig bag is included.
