Very happy with this purchase. As a new comer to the mandolin I wanted to purchase something that was not too expensive but equally, not bargain basement. It was also important to have a semi acoustic instrument as I intend to alternate between mandolin and guitar in my band which gigs regularly in the Scottish Borders. Still in the process of learning the basics of the instrument, but loving it and able to play some songs on it already hat I know from guitar. Good value for money purchase and some great help from the people at dv247 who advised me on the instrument prior to purchase and facilitated shipping details in these Covid-19 times. Would definitely look to come back to dv247 for future purchases. Jim Taylor
I play guitar and bass but had never played a mandolin before. Took a while to get set up (might be tough for a complete beginner to set the floating bridge). Sounds fine as an acoustic instrument. Action good. No string buzz. No sharp frets or any other nasties. I can imagine that paying 5x the price will get you an instrument with far nicer tone but this one is absolutely fine for my first learning to play. Also sounds great through my Orange guitar amp.
