Sound Pure's Take
The Eastman MD814 Mandolin is a stunning, high-end F-style instrument built for players who want power, nuance, and undeniable presence. Its solid Adirondack spruce top paired with a solid highly flamed maple back and sides delivers a punchy, focused chop with shimmering highs and rich harmonic depth. The ebony fingerboard and adjustable compensated ebony bridge provide smooth, precise playability, while elegant ivoroid binding, a diamond-pattern rosette, and the pearl flowerpot logo add serious vintage-inspired charm. Lightweight, resonant, and beautifully responsive, this MD814 is a true investment piece—crafted to inspire today and hold its value for years to come!
