The Eastman MD304 is a solid-wood A-style mandolin built for players who demand real tone without the premium price tag. Its solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides deliver a bright, punchy voice with the projection and clarity that only all-solid tonewoods can provide. The classic oval-hole design produces a warm, rounded sound well-suited for folk, bluegrass, Celtic, and acoustic ensemble playing. Eastman's hand-carved construction and satin finish let the wood breathe and resonate freely, resulting in a remarkably open and responsive instrument right out of the case. With an ebony fingerboard and adjustable compensated ebony bridge, the MD304 offers the playability and intonation accuracy that serious players expect. A refined, no-frills mandolin that punches well above its weight class.
