Eastman 814.

Mine has the same rosette and binding.

The case looks like a Crossrock

Dylan,
Their long-neck 'zouk didn't have the cool looking sound hole when I got mine (wish I'd gotten the short-scale one).

Hora makes a lot of instrument for just a little money. In spite of...

Was kind of hoping someone already had done that and would share their findings. I'd prefer not to have a strap around that I'll never use.

Looked at the Souldier, nice to be able to customize,...

I considered posting this on the equipment part of the forum but, since more players here are likely to play both regular and octave mandolin, this made more sense to me.

I am looking for a strap...

I have am Eastman 305 (A style) as my beater, and it's tone rivals that of my 814 (F style).

I am a huge fan of Eastmans though, so get to a shop (if you can) and play one for yourself. I think...

Might I also submit: Goldtone
Might first purchase was a mandola and it is well constructed (very similar to their bouzouki except a shorter neck) and came set up very well. Very budget friendly for...

Another vote for Hora

I've got a long neck one and the price was great. Really enjoyed it.

Alas, due to neck issues (mine) I stopped playing it (for now). Hope to get back to it, but moved to...

So my OM came in and I asked my local (where I got it) to string it up with octave pairs on G and D. I went to pick it up and paid my balance and it hadn't been done.

He said he'd do it but it...

I have one F style (my trophy wife mando) and she's the most valuable instrument that I own. I had such anxiety about taking her anywhere that I eventually adopted her poor cousin (my beater).

I...

I feel like a noob again and all my girls (mandolins/mandola/bouzouki) feel new to me. The music is coming back quicker than my hands.

I'm so sore right now but I don't care. I keep reaching for...

Grrr...
Can't seem to rotate the image

I got the Goldtone OM800+

Current it has unison pairs, but may do octave pairs on the and D. I like the way it sounds.

It's been a few years since I've played (due to neck issues and life) and got the bug again after playing at a funeral for my aunt.

I'd stopped playing our local sessions when it got moved to a...

Mandolin in Hardcase = Carry-on; briefcase, diaper bag = personal item. Southwest let me fly with both no extra charge. I also checked a bag.

My guitar playing brother gate checked his and...

I started trying that, but it's a lot for Mr to process. I'd just started to learn to read music before my neck problems started.

I just got back into playing last month. It's been two years....

Yeah, the jury is still out on whether or not to have two courses or three as octave pairs. Sometimes I like it (strumming) or not (melody). I need to learn my mandola chords so I can chime in on the...

I haven't posted in awhile. Neck issues had been affecting my hands.
I have a GT OM-800 on the way and thought it was strung up in octave pairs (it's not) and wondered if I could do this. I tried it...

I originally bought it because I thought the case was going to be nice. I assumed (wrongly) that the mandolin would be of Rogue quality and playability.

The case was junk (Styrofoam wrapped in...

I highly recommend them for the price even if its not the power plate.

I still play mine at sessions and just noodling (unless the kids are sleeping).

All kinds if fun for a buck and a half.

As for Hora, I bought one of their bouzoukis and felt that i got MORE than I paid for. The instrument does feel a bit light, but mine played well right out of the box. Warning, their cases are not...

Wow! forgot about this thread. I actually printed the tab from that link 4 years ago. The solo was crushing my spirit back then, but now I actually play along with the song.

I haven't posted on...

Go back a page. Good tab
