Eastman MD815/V F-Style Mandolin – Antique Varnish – Mint w/ OHSC
Eastman MD815/V F-style mandolin in mint condition. Purchased new a couple of months ago — this instrument has seen very light home use only and shows no wear whatsoever.
The MD815/V sits near the top of Eastman's line, from their Antique Varnish series. The hand-applied varnish finish is thinner and softer than modern lacquer, letting the top move more freely — the result is a dry, woody, open tone with excellent volume and headroom. Great bluegrass chop and clear, sweet tremolo.
Specs:
- Hand-carved solid Adirondack spruce top
- Hand-carved highly flamed solid maple back and sides
- Maple neck, ebony fingerboard (12" radius)
- Scale length: 13 7/8"
- Bone nut (1 3/32")
- Adjustable ebony bridge
- Ivoroid body/fingerboard/headstock binding
- Pearl flowerpot headstock inlay
- Hand-applied antique varnish finish
Included:
- Original oblong hardshell case
- Currently strung with Thomastik flat-wound strings — smooth under the fingers, warm and fundamental-rich tone
Price is firm at $3,000 CAD. Ships from Toronto, Canada for $100 (safely packed, insured, in the hardshell case), or free local pickup/delivery in the Toronto area.
