Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Firstly, the finish on this instrument was truly amazing, complete with faux scratch marks and faded stains. The volume was also louder, as this mandolin's depth was deeper than usual. The tone was acceptable, however, it is not as smooth as other mandolins in the 200$ range. It would make an excellent strumming instrument, but for me, a classical musician, the tone is unacceptable. Also, a major problem with my instrument was that a few hours after playing it, I started to notice a lot of fret buzz in the G and D strings, and fret buzz was dangerously apparent within the A and E strings. The action also seemed way too high. I took it to a local repairer, and he claimed that 1) the nut was way too high, 2) the frets were extremely uneven, and 3) the bridge was in the wrong position. Maybe I was just unfortunate to get the odd one, but still, I am starting to doubt the reliability to even the very expensive instruments sold online. Make sure you play the instrument before you buy it.
