    Re: Eastman Mandolin Review

    My luthier does some big name players as well, and he agrees with your luthier. Eastman makes good instruments. If it plays and sounds the way you want, what more can you ask for!!

    Re: Eastman Mandolin Review

    GPlayer your words turned out right. The 'luthier,, who made the comments was in-house where I bought the mandolin and really proved by the initial set-up that he was an amateur. It was my...

    Re: Eastman Mandolin Review

    Gplayer - good points. I am amazed at how little things, even as simple as a different pick, can make to the sound. Add personal taste to your comments and how much cash you have to spend and the...

    Re: Eastman Mandolin Review

    The luthier really did a good job on the set-up. This Larrivee Mando has great action right up the neck, nice sound and it is well made. It is fun to play and I am going to enjoy it for a long time.

    Re: Eastman Mandolin Review

    The consensus seems to be the lesser Eastman models are as good as or better than the 815. I've played a number in the 3, 5 and 6 series and given the playability, sound and price it was hard not...

    I ordered an Eastman 815V in April 2013 and it is now Sept 29 2013, and I am still waiting. The retailer offered to bring one in from another store, which I played this morning. Man I was...
