The Eastman MD305 offers hand-carved, solid-wood construction and classic F-hole tone at an accessible price — perfect for advancing players and discerning beginners alike. Built with a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this A-style mandolin delivers a bright, punchy voice with excellent projection and tonal clarity — ideal for bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, and Americana.

Its satin finish allows the wood to breathe and resonate freely, contributing to a lively and dynamic response. The ebony fingerboard with a 12" radius offers smooth playability, while the adjustable compensated bridge ensures intonation accuracy. Details like the ivoroid top binding, pearl dot inlays, and cast aluminum tailpiece reflect Eastman’s dedication to quality craftsmanship.

Whether you're gigging, jamming, or recording, the MD305’s balance of traditional tone, refined aesthetics, and professional features makes it a top contender in its class. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this mandolin comes with a padded gig bag, certificate of authenticity, and hex wrench.
