The Eastman MD615-GB F-Style Mandolin is a handcrafted mandolin that pays tribute to traditional build methods and body styles while delivering a balanced and refined tone.
A bluegrass icon, and for good reason. F-style or Florentine mandolins are the epitome of fine craftsmanship and beauty. The ornate carved scroll adds mass to the instrument that helps create balance for a standing player.
Known for having more treble attack and percussive "chop" than oval hole instruments, F-hole mandolins are the first choice in ensemble settings where volume competition can be an issue.
