Re: Eastman 515 neck too heavy
Did you previously have an A style mandolin? That F style peghead is a hunk of wood that affects ballance. All of them have that issue. I rather doubt the issue is neck related. You may have better luck connecting your strap to north of the nut. When sitting, use the lower bout point between your legs to stabilize the instrument, that's why it's there. If you wanna be creative, I suggest a selection of mylar balloons filled with helium attached to the uppermost tuner post.
