The Eastman MDC805 is a professional-grade mandocello built for players who demand rich, full-bodied tone and exceptional craftsmanship. Featuring a solid spruce top paired with solid highly flamed maple back and sides, this instrument delivers powerful projection with warm, articulate lows and clear overtones across its range. The traditional F-style archtop body with classic f-holes provides a balanced, resonant voice equally suited to ensemble work and solo performance. A comfortable maple neck with ebony fingerboard ensures smooth playability, while premium appointments—including an adjustable ebony bridge, ebony-on-brass tailpiece, Gotoh tuners, and elegant ivoroid binding—reflect Eastman's commitment to quality at every detail. Finished in a lustrous gloss that highlights the stunning flame maple figure, the MDC805 is a serious instrument for the serious mandocellist.
