Hall of Fame: 2015 Eastman MDA315 F-Style Mandola in Brown Burst

Vincent Barras

This Eastman MDA315 F-style mandola delivers classic carved-top tone with the warm, full voice that makes mandola such a great step up from mandolin. Featuring a solid spruce top, carved maple body, and traditional CGDA tuning, it offers strong projection, rich midrange, and the dynamic response Eastman’s hand-voiced instruments are known for. A beautiful choice for folk, bluegrass or Celtic players wanting a high-quality acoustic with vintage styling and impressive musical depth.
