A body, spruce top, mahogany b&s, round sound hole
What could I expect a mandolin like that to sound like? What genres would it be good for?
Irish? Classical? Sea shanties? Basically anything that’s NOT bluegrass?
I was browsing around, and I saw that a store not too super far from me has an Eastman 404 in stock. I’m thinking next weekend I’ll take a run down and give it a test drive, see what sounds I can tickle out of it.
Eastman MD-514 (F body, Sitka & maple, oval hole)
Klos Carbon Fiber (on order)
And still saving my nickels & dimes & bottle caps & breakfast cereal box tops for my lifetime mandolin.
