Re: Beginner/inexpensive Mandolins
somebody may want to explain the 2X factor. . .
Mandolins are arched-top instruments. That's a bit different then guitar construction. In response, we typically consider that the price is twice the amount as a typical guitar. So, if you have a mandolin budget of $250 bucks, that's like shopping for a $125 dollar guitar. They're out there, but don't get your quality expectations too high!
If you like the sub-$250 dollar choices in guitar land, you should target a mandolin budget of $500 bucks.
Now you can look into Eastman and a bit further up the Kentucky line-up.
f-d
