To be able to purchase a hand-carved, hand-finished mandolin in this price range is astounding! The Eastman mandolins that come back to my shop years later for pickup installation and other customizations always impress me with how their sound matures over time. This is a common characteristic of a hand-carved, hand-finished mandolin. It's a great investment to buy a mandolin that sounds good but will continue to sound better and better with time!
The Eastman A style mandolins are known primarily as the choice of players involved in European or Celtic music, but I've heard a lot of good bluegrass picking coming out of them as well. These hand carved mandolins reflect the pride of fine craftspeople, originally trained to build Eastman’s high quality violins. All the A style mandolins are solid wood instruments, built in the traditional manner one at at a time.
The Eastman F style mandolins are known primarily as the choice of bluegrass players but given they have been hand built in a traditional manner with traditional size frets, these mandolins adapt well to all kinds of genres. The Eastman F-Style mandolins are great examples of Eastman’s heritage of hand carved fine instruments. All instruments are solid wood, carved and assembled with pride by our craftspeople in a manner like the classic instruments from the Golden Age of manufacturing.
