Hey all. First post here at the Mandolin Cafe.
The only mandolin I've owned is one of those $50 Rogue mandolins, which i quickly grew to hate. I play acoustic guitar and clawhammer banjo, and am blessed to work at a music store in Nashville where I'm surrounded by the best mandolins money can buy.
I'm ready to buy a real mandolin, and have been very impressed with the Eastmans I've come across. Particularly the Eastman MD-515, which I thought sounded great. I've also come across a Flatiron Festival for sale online, and I know it's one of the import models, but it appears to be of pretty high quality. Carved top, all solid, etc. How do these compare? Are they at a pretty similar level quality-wise? Thanks!
