If you’re a mandolin player seeking professional tone and craftsmanship at an accessible price point, the Eastman MD305 delivers a pure, traditional voice with refined appointments. Built with a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this A-style mandolin with F-holes projects with clarity and warmth. Its compact, carved body and hand-applied satin finish give it a resonant response that's ideal for bluegrass, folk, and classical settings alike. The 12” radius ebony fingerboard offers a comfortable playing surface, while Jescar fretwire ensures smooth fretting and durability.

Details like the ivoroid top binding, ebony adjustable bridge, and cast aluminum tailpiece reflect Eastman’s dedication to quality even in their most affordable models. With pearl dot inlays, a bone nut, Proline tuners, and an ebony strap peg, this instrument blends classic design with reliable modern function. The MD305 includes a padded gig bag for easy transport and is available now at Haggerty’s Music.
