    Re: First Mandolin

    I too have enjoyed an Eastman 615 at a reasonable price compared to American made instruments. I have played it for 5 years now and have no complaints nor do I have the desire or funds to upgrade.

    Thanks for sharing the "Cowgirl in the Sand" video too. I loved the steel guitar solo, but felt a little drunk after trying to keep up with the camera movements.
