I am very new to the mandolin, but think the Eastman MD 315 f is a good mandolin for the money, or for a starter instrument. I just put new strings on using GHS A270, because there was,and still is a problem at least as I perceive it to be. Thought the string were getting old, but the strings sound great even the E strings until I press down, then the E strings sound out of tune , no matter what my tuner is saying, unless I use a very light touch, then they sound good. This does not happen on any of the other strings. Is there something I am not doing right or is there an underling problem with the E? Hope I am relating this so it is understandable, because the sound is very ugly, keeping me from enjoying it as much as I should be able to. Also my intonation seems good even with the E string. Thanks for looking.
