Feeling Mandolin model FM-F88 Review

I am not employed by Feeling Instruments and I have not been paid to do this review. This is simply an honest review of the second mandolin that I bought from them.
This mandolin was only $500 when I bought it and that's what the price is at the time of this review.
Feeling instruments can be found at their ebay store.

I should note that in the ebay listing it says that it's 16 inches wide. It's not. It's a standard f-style mandolin size and it is 10 inches wide.
