Sound Pure's Take

This is a sweet little traditional mandolin, with great slightly dark A-style tone. It's a great mandolin for someone who wants an appropriate instrument for folk or Irish music, it doesn't have that bright bite and aggressive tone that bluegrass mandolins have. It sports a classy all black finish and the rosette around the soundhole is just plain cool!

From Eastman Guitars

Individually hand-built using traditional materials & “Old World” craftsmanship. Solid Spruce Top, Solid Mahogany back & sides with Ebony fingerboard & adjustable ebony bridge. A-style body with oval sound hole for  round liquid tones and excellent projection.
