Beautiful Instrument for the Price

This mandolin looks good and sounds good. It is my first mandolin ever, so I'm not an expert, but the action seems perfect.

I ordered this mandolin in America a few days ago and it arrived in 4 days. I was afraid it would get damaged on me. But it was put in a very big box and it got unimpaired and I'm very glad it didn't get damaged. I opened it and fastened it. It sounds very good, the strings are new and very fine and it sounds good. The mandolin makes a loud sound and that makes me very happy. The tool shows exactly that in the picture, the buying and sending process was easy and the ones I ordered from were very receptive and answered all my questions and gave me a code through which I could track the instrument every day. . It was brought exactly on the promised day. The instrument sounds perfect, and does not make muffled sounds, without defects and it is easily tuned, it does not tune quickly, they offered me a guarantee even if it gets broken, they told me that they can send me another mandolin or money. So I'm very happy, I didn't expect it to be such a good mandolin, but I wholeheartedly recommend it. I even gave it to a conductor to try and he said that it really sounds wonderful, it makes pure and fine sounds and you don't stick your fingers when you press on the strings.

Nice quality for the money.
Peter623 07.06.2013
When the mandolin first arrived I was surprised at the quality for the money I paid for it. The back of the bowl in nicely curved & is comfortable against the body. In fact the quality of the workmanship is excellent for the price.
The sound is tonally very nice & has a sweet edge to it. I did find the tuning pegs were a little tight to turn when it came to tuning. I will have a look at this when I go to change the strings, or maybe they will loosen with use in time. A lovely little instrument that is great fun to play.

Nachdem ich vor Jahren eine Roundback Ibanez Mandoline verkauft und nur noch eine halbakustische Stagg an der Wand hängen hatte, wollte ich wieder ein optisch und klanglich schönes Instrument spielen.
Das ist sie wirklich. Optisch und klanglich ganz wundervoll.

Verarbeitung:
Hier habe ich ein einwandfrei gearbeitetes Mandolinchen, das wertig und solide erscheint. Als erstes lege ich immer Wert auf den Korpus. Teile wie Mechaniken, Saiten, Sattel etc. lassen sich tauschen. Aber auch diese runden den sehr positiven Eindruck ab. Bei der "Irish Bouzouki" aus der gleichen Produktionsstätte lassen die Mechaniken zu wünschen übrig. Hier hatte ich scheinbar Glück. Hals/Saitenlage/Bundreinheit/Abrichtung... alles super. Die Schalllochinlays sind sehr schön. Lackierung gleichmäßig und sauber.

Klang:
Selbst mit den Werkssaiten, die gern bei vielen Instrumenten bemängelt werden, erzeugt meine Mandoline einen typischen und sehr ausgewogenen Klang. Trotz flachem Korpus setzt sie sich gut durch.

Spielbarkeit:
Dass man nicht bis zur Oktave kommt (weil die greifbare Mensur begrenzt ist), weiß man vorher. Dies nimmt man dann in Kauf. Insgesamt spielen sich die Saiten deshalb auch härter, als ich es gewohnt bin.

Fazit:
Nicht nur für Ein-/ Umsteiger bzw. Anfänger ist die Mandoline für diesen Preis wohl kaum zu toppen. Erfahrene Spieler erhalten ein vollwertiges Instrument und von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
