The Eastman MD315 is an F-style mandolin that punches well above its weight class, pairing a solid Adirondack spruce top with solid maple back and sides for a powerful, projecting tone. Adirondack spruce is prized among mandolin players for its exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, delivering the bold, cutting voice needed to hold its own in a bluegrass ensemble or stand out in an intimate acoustic setting. The classic F-style body with f-holes provides that iconic look and focused midrange bark, while the ebony fingerboard and adjustable compensated ebony bridge ensure precise intonation and a fast, responsive feel under the fingers. Finished in Eastman's Truetone Satin Amberburst, the MD315 lets the tonewoods breathe and resonate freely, aging gracefully as the top opens up over time. A serious instrument for players who demand authentic F-style tone and craftsmanship without the vintage price tag.
