I had mine delivered yesterday from Thomann in Germany - took four days to the UK - out of the box the setup was spot on - action was as the most common recommendations I found on the Internet. Intonation was very good though just slightly out on the G sting which could be improved by a compensated bridge. Slight relief in the neck but there seems to be no reason to adjust the truss rod. No string buzz. Would heartily recommend!

Thanks for sharing! I was thinking of buying one like this and since I can't find them in the local music store, I looked for one on the Internet. Glad to be able to hear one. It sounds good especially for the price.

I had mine bought in local store, which sounds impossible to be honest. I'm using it and it's ok in my opinion. :)

You keep calling it "guitar". With 4 courses of doubled strings, it would probably be ok to call it by what it is -- octave mandolin or bauzoki, depending how it is tuned and played. Thanks, it is a nice looking piece of work. Bob

@@robertshorthill6836 I'm not sure how it used to be called abroad but in Poland most of people will say 'guitar'. I'm always split between call any instrument different. For me violin, viola, cello and double bass could be soprano violin, alt violin, tenor violin and bass violin like is done in other intruments like flute, sax, trombone etc etc. For me guitar is everything with neck and resonance box, even lute or ukulele. I treat 'guitar' as a group of instruments with neck played by fingers/pick. ;)

One of the problems with these instruments from Hora is that there is a much too shallow break angle over the bridge. This affects the sound quality & can even cause problems with strings slipping out of their slots in the bridge saddle. Also the tops on these instruments seem very flimsy & they tend to bow downwards under string pressure, possibly due to inadequate bracing. Their bouzoukis, octave mandolins & mandolas all have these problems, based on the ones I have seen. If you have only a few hundred Euro to spend on an instrument, APC from Portugal are much better designed and built, particularly their bouzoukis & mandolins.

This is definitely at the very lowest end of the range. If you think this is the best mandolin ever you need to try a few more 😂

I never said it was the best mandolin... it's good for the price. I play and I enjoy it. Let's just say it's Harley Benton quality.

I wanted to play some more ethnic style too becouse this mandolin sounds more ethnic than irish to me. I told about that in my review.
