I’m new to the cafe here and fairly new to the mandolin. I started learning back in January and am mostly self taught. I have been learning on an old cheap mandolin but am now ready and confident enough to move forward with my first real purchase.
I’ve been doing a lot of research and I think I’m leaning towards Kentucky or Eastman. I’ve been playing around a lot with a family member’s Kentucky KM-805 and I love it. I haven’t gotten my hands on an Eastman yet, but I’ve found a few online that seem nice. I want to buy a middle ground mandolin that’s going to last me a long time. Nothing that’s too much over my head, but nothing too cheap either. Any suggestions on specific mandolins to look for?
