Thanks everyone. i did get a mandolin from the Mandolin Store in Tennessee. I live in Wisconsin. I will have to figure that out then!

Do you have to pay tax on a mandolin bought online out of state?

I like the look of that heart shaped pick at the top of the page.

I am starting off with Celtic music.Its my favorite and I think it's a good bridge between classical and bluegrass. I'm following Mando Mike on YouTube.

Okay, I know I've only just started playing but I already prefer picks with a little pointy edge rather than the rounded ones. I am right?

Oh no!!!!

I heard a side by side comparison on a YouTube class and almost gasped at the beauty of the oval hole sound. Then I watched a video exchange on Artistworks and saw the oval that I almost bought. ...

Thank you everyone. Yes I'm here and appreciate all your help. I was busy practicing before LOL.
The consensus seems to be that I should stay with what I have, it is after all a lovely instrument....

I think I should have bought an oval soundhole mandolin. I got the F hole shape instrument. Purchased an Eastman 505 from the Mandolin store by mail

Thank you everyone for your valuable help.

Do you hold the Mandolin differently for classical versus bluegrass?

It does look pretty, thanks. In the end I ordered the Eastman 505

One thought or one instrument? L0L

Does anyone have any thoughts about the Eastman md 404 bk?

Thanks

Thanks.

Thanks for your advice. I will try and do what you suggest. Either side by side sound samples or in person.

I would like a nice mandolin to be able to play orchestral and also bluegrass, and would like a sweet sound. Would the Eastman 315 work for a beginner?
