Mandolin

Latest User Reviews
Love this instrument, and the price.
I really like this mandolin. It's better then my previous one made by Ozark.
Astonishing for price
Want to give mando a try without going crazy on price? This is what you want. Cheap enough to practice tuning, adjusting without fear as well.
Excellent for the money
This mandolin is great for beginners and for someone who is looking to have fun on the instrument. The sound and tonallity of the neck is great , but when you go further down the neck sound loses its tonallity precision , but for the money this is a top notch instrument !
A Christmas present for my husband
Thanks for the professional service! I made a mistake with the order, but the team responded quickly. I am happy, my husband will have a present for Christmas! Thank you! Happy Holidays!
A Bargain
A great starter mandolin - plays easily - decent finish -not a bad sound and all for an excellent price.
Good for those who want to get into this instrument
I've seen a few Pro-Mandolin players recommend this as a good starting point and so far I agree. Doesn't have a beautiful sound to it, but it's definitely a Mando.
One thing to mention is that even after a few months the intonation on the neck has gone a bit, the higher up on the frets the more out of tune it gets but I can live with that personally.
Decent
The frets seem to be a bit misplaced, as when i press down on the 7th fret, it's slightly out of tune compared to the next string, i only seem to have that problem on the higher frets though.
But the quality and sound is great for 750 SEK.
Great instrument
Fair price ang great quality.
Great for the price!
Harley Benton does it again. Great product with great features at an unbelievable price. Fantastic for a starter which is what I needed it for. Only weak poo t the timers are a little hit and miss there’s k e or two don’t hold tune aswell as the others but still, a fantastic product for the money.
Budget mandolin for beginners.
I bought this as a toy and not an instrument. But for the price is good. I like the sound. Quality is good but not great. It doesn't have any issues and it gets the job done. But its not for mandolin players in my opinion. Its more for people like me who want to experiment with different instruments, without spending a lot.
