Eastman MD815 F-Style Mandolin is a beautifully handcrafted mandolin that pay tribute to traditional build methods and body styles while delivering a balanced and refined tone. More specifically, all the materials, build techniques, and even the type of finish are about as good as it gets.
The Eastman 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.
Hand-carved solid Adirondack spruce top, solid highly-flamed maple back and sides with radiused ebony fingerboard and adjustable ebony bridge, features in a high gloss classic finish.
Just an absolutely stunning instrument!
