The Eastman MD305 A-Style Mandolin: Pure Craftsmanship, Uncompromised Tone
Discover the ultimate benchmark for entry-to-intermediate mandolins with the Eastman MD305. Stripping away costly cosmetic flourishes to focus entirely on sound and playability, this hand-crafted A-style instrument delivers the premium tone and resonant punch of a boutique mandolin at an incredibly accessible price point.
Hand-Carved Solid Tonewoods
While many mandolins in this class use laminate woods, the MD305 is individually hand-crafted using premium, all-solid tonewoods. Featuring a hand-carved solid Sitka spruce top and solid maple back and sides, it offers a rich, complex acoustic voice and outstanding projection that will only grow sweeter and more resonant over years of playing.

Clarity, Punch, and Versatility
Equipped with dual classic F-holes and a thin, matte nitrocellulose satin finish, the MD305 maximizes the natural vibration of the wood. The result is a clean, articulate voice with a tight, punchy low-end response. It provides the cutting power needed for traditional bluegrass jams, while maintaining the sweet, balanced note separation ideal for folk, Celtic, and old-time fiddle tunes.
