Harley Benton HBMA-50 Mandoline VS 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.

Awesome mandolin for beginners! Im very satisfied with the sound and the quality!

Excellent

Excellent mandolin. Great sound. Love it. Strings just a bit too hard. I got lighter ones. But the instrument is great.

Decent instrument for the price

I bought this as my first ever mandolin. It was the cheapest one out there, I wasn't going to spend a fortune for a beginner instrument.

Quality: The build quality is pretty good for the price. The finish has a nice gloss to the varnish.

As to features and sound: it has 8 strings as it should, and it pretty much sounds like how a mandolin is supposed to sound.

Straight out of the box, I just give it a very quick tune (it didn't require too much tuning) and it was ready to go to start strumming some chords and picking some notes.

Would I recommend this? For a beginner who wants an instrument to learn on, most definitely. It's cheap (I think the cheapest I have seen) and is a pretty decent quality for the money it costs. So it's a very good choice to begin with.

Great Mandolin for Beginners

I bought this because I'd always wanted to learn mandolin. I thought it would be very cheaply made, but I was impressed with teh build quality and sound for the price.

Great!

Fantastic little instrument, pleasantly surprised by it

Impressive mando

I am impressed by the quality and sound of this low priced mandolin. The neck and action were set up well. The sound quality is fine and clear. The intonation was spot on.

It's a nice mandolin

I have this mandolin for quite a while now and it's durable, it's good and light.

I like this mandolin, very very much, I would consider this mandolin a nice "beginner mandolin"

It is okay for the price

This mandolin for it's low price certainly isn't bad, but even with a professional guitar shop setup it's a pain to tune and mine had pretty awful intonation. I recorded two songs with it and sold it again.

It's not bad, you just get what you pay for.

sound ok quality not bad

bought this as a gift for my brother the set up was bad and the action really high for beginner this will be an issue plus its hard to stay in tune

Fantastic for the price

A great place to start out on Mandolin
