    Eastman MD305

    Couldn’t be any happier with my purchase. First time I‘ve picked up a mandolin and loving it. Beautiful sounding instrument with great sound projection. The mandolin came all set up and ready to play.The guys at The Acoustic Centre were great to deal with. Dan was really helpful and quick to answer all my text messages. Quick turnaround, ordered online Saturday and received Tuesday. Highly recommend these guys. Thank you.

    Very Happy!

    It is a beautiful mandolin with a high quality gig bag. But the best part is that the instrument arrived quickly and is perfectly set up by Acoustic Centre. It was even perfectly in tune out of the box!! Great sound. Thank you Hamish and crew!

    EASTMAN MD 305

    Just purchased this mandolin and I already love it. I have been learning on a cheap instrument, and as soon as I played the Eastman 305 the difference was unbelievable. Great value for money..
