Sound Pure's Take
This is one seriously clean mandolin. From the aethetics to the fretwork, the thing is just squeaky. A lot of the time new mandolins will have good fundamental tone but sound too busy, requiring a long break-in period, but this mando has awesome focused and tight tone. Even up the neck, the high notes just pop and project just like you hear them in your head. The classic finish really showcases the gorgeous grain on the top, too. I wouldn't hestitate to bring this one anywhere, whether it's Galax or the recording studio.
From Eastman Guitars
The luthiers at Eastman Strings are recognized world-wide as the creators of some of today's finest violin family instruments and archtop guitars. They have now applied their knowledge and expertise to the handcrafting of vintage style mandolins. Available in A, F and 2-point styles, Eastman mandolins are made to the same exacting standards as the great mandolins of the 1920's. The combination of Eastman's luthiery skills with tonewoods previously reserved for fine violins results in a classically beautiful instrument possessing unrivalled projection and richness of tone.
