The Eastman MD514 is a stunning example of the company’s commitment to handcrafted excellence, fusing classic F-style mandolin aesthetics with the warmth and resonance of an oval soundhole. Built for players who value both vintage tone and refined craftsmanship, this model is ideal for everything from classical and Celtic to folk and old-time music. The solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides offer articulate response and smooth sustain, while the oval hole adds warmth and roundness to each note — perfect for melodic playing and rich chord voicings.

The gloss finish enhances both the instrument’s look and tonal resonance, highlighting the subtle flame of the maple and the precision craftsmanship throughout. A 12" fingerboard radius, slim maple neck, and adjustable ebony bridge provide a responsive and comfortable playing experience, while the cast aluminum tailpiece and Pingwell tuners offer reliable tuning stability and clean aesthetics. Whether you’re a traditionalist looking for a modern build or a player exploring new sonic ground, the MD514 delivers elegance, expression, and vintage-inspired tone in equal measure. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
