Re: Kentucky vs Eastman
Tony, I can`t speak for an Eastman because I haven`t played on since they first hit the market and then I wasn`t impressed with them but from what others say they have improved quite a bit...BUT I have owned two Kentucky mandolins that were as good as any mandolin that I have played, one was a KM-900 A model and the other is a KM-956 also an A model which I am seriously thinking about posting here on the Café for sale...
As far as sound goes an F model doesn`t give any better sound than an A model, at least I don`t think they do...

Re: Kentucky vs Eastman
The Kentucky 272 has been "hot" on the forum for a month or two. So much so that I was influenced to buy one (thanks MikeZito, still love it!) As for eastman, they haven't released any new models outside of their octave, those got great reviews. I think they are seen as the tried and true pacrim instrument of the forums, especially for beginners with a decent budget. Though, arguably, Kentucky has superior higher end models (the 950s and 1050s do very well on the forums it seems). Tomato/tomahto. They are both decent brands.
