The Eastman MD815 is one of the most elegant and performance-focused mandolins in Eastman's handcrafted lineup. Combining high-end tonewoods, classic appointments, and precision craftsmanship, this F-style model delivers the volume, clarity, and projection that bluegrass, Americana, and folk mandolin players demand. It’s a standout choice for players looking to step into professional territory without breaking into boutique-level pricing.

At the heart of the MD815 is a carved solid Adirondack spruce top, paired with solid highly flamed maple back and sides, creating a rich, punchy sound with powerful projection and cutting trebles — ideal for ensemble settings or solo work alike. The classic F-style body with F-holes offers plenty of midrange definition and dynamic responsiveness, while a compound radius ebony fingerboard and slim-profile maple neck provide smooth playability from the first fret to the last. With its ornate flower pot headstock inlay, ivoroid binding, and gloss finish, the MD815 also shines visually.

Additional features include Gotoh MF40R tuners for precise tuning, a cast aluminum Eastman tailpiece, and a compensated adjustable ebony bridge to dial in perfect intonation. Whether you're a seasoned bluegrass picker or an advancing player seeking a long-term companion, the MD815 is ready to inspire — and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
