Hi, I started with a cheap 100 dollar mandolin and I recently bought an Eastman 305. I'm new to playing so did not realize the neck size would affect me so much. The Eastman 305 is small compared to what I started learning on. I spent the last month trying to get used to it and while I love the mandolin, the small size is a struggle. Wondering if others had the experience? My main struggle is not hitting the string next to it, I don't have skinny fingers. Anyone have this experience and work it out over time? If I could go back in time, I would look for one with a bigger next size, but I've gone past the month to return it so it's mine now.
