That’s a sweet first mandolin! I really like the finish and I’ve heard great things about those mid-level Eastmans.
I guess I'll just stay right here, pick and sing a while...

Congrats! I am currently shopping for mandolins as well. When researching and shopping for Mandolins, Eastmans are hard to beat, and hard to avoid! They're ubiquitous in the online shops and everyone is giving them VERY high praise for value and tone.
sweet!
good place to start!
is there a first tune you played on it yet?

"Mean Old Timer, He's got grey hair, Mean Old Timer he just don't care
Got no compassion, thinks its a sin
All he does is sit around an play the Mandolin"
You sure picked a nice one to start with. Good for you.
At first I mostly worked on sight reading with a workbook I ordered online. But now I'm going through the courses at Mandolin Secrets Academy so I have learned the simple but catchy "Ode to Joy." That's about the level I'm at, working on fundamentals.
Beautiful! Congrats, and good luck with it!
Is that considered a gloss finish? It looks very much like the satin finish on my Eastman 304, after I buffed it up with some Renaissance wax...
Congratulations on your new Mandolin! I have an Eastman also. Great mandolins.
Congratulations!
Enjoy the Eastman.
Nice looking mando
