Eastman MD515 'Classic Sunburst' F-Style Mandolin

The Eastman MD515 is a classic F-style mandolin that delivers exceptional tone, craftsmanship and value. Built entirely from solid, hand-carved tonewoods, with a solid spruce top paired with flamed maple back and sides, it produces a beautifully balanced tone that's full, woody and rich in projection.

Finished in a high-gloss classic sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer, the MD515 radiates traditional style and charm. Its ebony fingerboard and compensated bridge ensure excellent intonation and playing comfort, while the Eastman cast tailpiece and Pingwell tuners add precise tuning stability, making it ideal for players who want a professional-level sound and feel without the premium price tag.
