This mandolin is a good starter and intermediate-level instrument. It is not a main-brand name, and the price and shipping are priced for affordability. It is a nice product and good value for the cost. Strongly recommended that take off the factory stock strings and put on a good set of Martin Mandolin strings. Please see Product Exception Note below. For best results, please request the mandolin tuning instructions, which also provides instruction about how to position the bridge for best intonation. If you are looking for a higher-end mandolin, write me a message and ask. Don't bid if you are expecting a high-end mandolin. This is a flat-top mandolin, often referred to as a Celtic style (pronounced ''kel-tick'').

About Mandolin Strings and Tuning the Instrument
Mandolin strings are made of metal and for the first few hours, they will tend to stretch. It may take a few days for the strings to fully settle in. No matter the brand name of strings, they are going to stretch when you first put them on. Because of this, do not expect any mandolin to hold it's tuning on the first attempt. Good strings are very important. If you need mandolin tuning instructions, email us and we will send you instructions along with a MIDI music file that you can use to tune the mandolin. There is no implied warranty on strings.

Product Exception Notes
This item has pre-installed strings. There have been many that were shipped with the D and A strings, as same gauge, which means that you won't be able to tune the instrument until you change out the A-strings. Given that we recommend that you put on a good set of Martin 80/20 mandolin strings or buy a set from our store, the issue about strings may not be an issue for you. However, the product is shipped direct from the manufacturer and we offer no warranty on strings. Put on a good set of strings and it will make all the difference. If you use the ''Buy it Now'' purchase option, you will get an extra set of strings included. If you go with an auction bid, strings are not included. If you placed a ''Bid'' and you still want two sets of strings, let us know and we will add the $12 cost of your strings to your invoice. Strings may be mailed separately.
