The Eastman MDC805 Mandocello utilizes all the best features of a great Eastman archtop guitar. By accenting the lower fundamentals with ringing archtop overtones they have produced an instrument that matches and perhaps surpasses any mandocello in the market today!
After the success of Eastman’s line of hand carved, solid mandolins, it was only a matter of time before the master luthiers brought their skills to bear on other members of the mandolin family.
