❌SOLD❌ Eastman MD915SB F Style Mandolin Sunburst, 2016

❌SOLD❌   Eastman MD915SB F Style Mandolin Sunburst, 2016

The Eastman MD915SB F Style mandolin follows the classic bluegrass style instruments pioneered in the early part of the 20th century by Orville Gibson and Lloyd Loar. These instruments departed steeply from all previous mandolins, in that they merged violin family concepts with the mandolin design. Traditional European mandolins generally had bowl backs and flat tops, which limited both their comfort and potential for delivering sound at a higher volume.
