I enjoyed both your review and playiing. You often see instruments reviewed by virtuosos whose technical abilities are mind blowing but they don't really give you a true impression of the instrument. You where restrained enough in your playing to give the listener a fair idea of what to expect from the 305 mandolin, thanks .

Glad you enjoyed it.

Beautiful playing. What pick/plectrum do you use? Many thanks. Pete UK

Good Review thanks! How would you compare this to the Loar 110 that you reviewed before? I'm trying to decide between the two.

[@BanjoLemonade]

The Eastman is much better. My opinion. Thanks!

[@Stringsonabudget]

Between this one and your kentucky 500 which do you like best?👍🏻👍🏻

[@BanjoLemonade]

This one but only for this reason - I prefer the more mellow sound of the Eastman. But if you are a bluegrasser - go Kentucky all the way, they have that great bark.

Great review Mandy! Thank you. I’ll check out that store.

[@BanjoLemonade]

Thank you!

[@jasoncothron9530]

Hard to beat at that price point, sound goooooood!

[@pamelabartlette6354]

That was great! How long have you been playing? I've had my Kentucky mandolin since last September. I was hoping to play at least 1/2 as well already. 😬

[@BanjoLemonade]

Well hmm Pamela, I don’t exactly know for sure. I played for a few months way back in about 2012. Then didn’t get another mandolin until a couple years ago. Been playing off and on since then. I don’t have time to play it as much as I’d like to (gotta concentrate on dulcimer and banjo mostly). But I so enjoy playing it.

Cool playing and banjo there Mandy!!

A fine mandolin indeed. Let us keep playing music. Very important in times like these. John 3:16
