The Eastman MD815/V is a premium, handcrafted F-style mandolin designed for serious musicians who demand rich tone and exceptional playability. Featuring a solid Adirondack spruce top, this instrument delivers outstanding projection and a dynamic response, making it ideal for bluegrass, folk, and classical styles.

The highly flamed maple back and sides not only enhance the mandolin’s stunning aesthetics but also contribute to its warm, well-balanced sound with plenty of depth and sustain.

The hand-carved top and back, along with the radiused ebony fingerboard, ensure a comfortable playing experience, while the beautifully detailed scrollwork adds a touch of sophistication.

Whether played in an intimate acoustic setting or on a lively stage, this mandolin stands out with its responsive articulation and punchy chop. With its professional-grade hardware and meticulous setup, the Eastman MD815/V is a top-tier choice for musicians seeking a vintage-voiced instrument with impeccable build quality and timeless beauty.
