Re: New to mandolin, advice on starting
You asked about the Eastman 305 -- that's a good mandolin, beginner or not. It has a "modern" neck -- fairly narrow -- and a less tubby old Gibson sound but it's my backup mandolin and it's only the backup because i lucked into an old Gibson. If you have one available, it would be a good starter and probably will carry you through for the first few years. that's my experience.
