Re: Eastman OM - a one-month review
I received an MDO305 two weeks ago. Been playing regularly and enjoying the sound. Took the advice from here and immediately put mandola strings on the instrument. I am finding the stretch between frets is a real workout, but interestingly, the same tunes on mandolin now seem remarkably simple! Have been wondering if the difference of one inch in the scale between the Eastman and the Weber 20" scale makes it any easier to use the mandolin fingerings I've learned for melody lines.
