The Eastman MDO605 A-Style Octave Mandolin showcases the company’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship and rich tone. Known for building instruments that blend hand-crafted detail with reliable performance, Eastman delivers a striking example with a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides finished in a warm Goldburst gloss. The A-style body with twin f-holes offers a classic look while producing a clear, resonant voice that feels lively and responsive in the hands.

An octave mandolin is tuned one octave below a standard mandolin, giving players a deeper, fuller voice that bridges the gap between mandolin and guitar. With its 21” scale length and comfortable ebony fingerboard, the MDO605 feels balanced and smooth to play while delivering warm lows, clear mids, and articulate highs that work beautifully for folk, Celtic, bluegrass, and modern acoustic styles. The three-piece maple and mahogany neck adds stability while contributing to the instrument’s focused, expressive tone.

Equipped with a K&K Mandolin Duotone pickup system, the MDO605 is ready for stage and studio use, capturing the natural character of the instrument with clarity and warmth when amplified. Premium appointments such as pearl block inlays, ivoroid binding, and an ebony bridge round out the design, while the included hardshell case ensures this beautifully built octave mandolin stays protected wherever the music takes you.
