Sound Pure's Take

Eastman doesn't mess around with their mandolins, period.  From their broad catalogue of handcrafted instruments, mandolins constitute about a third of their overall production--that dedication shows in this lovely specimen.  Where else can you get handcarved, solid wood construction with a hand painted, spirit-based varnish finish to boot?  Remarkably lightweight.  We're loving the subtle antiquing and warm, orange-ish glow, too.  For how much?!  Unreal.
