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 !

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.

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"

Perfect for a first timer!

Bought this for my 10 year old who fancied learning Mandolin, only had it a week but she loves it and the sound is lovely. Having trouble restringing but thats my own fault I suspect!

Highly recommend.

its freaking amazing and cheap

Its my first mandolin ever and was so surprised with the sound of it, and the way it looked, it has a beautiful wood, and the sunburst looks so great, with a lot of great details like the bridge of the mandolin has a beautiful pattern so impressive for the price. the only thing that i could possible say that is not so good is the finish on the f hole, but is no big deal. The sound is very good, it plays like a mandolin xD, the neck could've had a little more finnish work, but its still great.

A steal!

Great to play and well made. Good for practice and jamming. The low string sounds a bit shrill compared to the others but this is the best value for money instrument I've ever bought

Okay, I get it now.

I'm in the US, I'd never seen a Harley Benton anything in the wild. I was curious about trying out the Mandolin. This price was just ridiculous for what you get here: I'm no mandolinist, but I've recorded plenty of folk bands in my day, so I at least know what the thing's supposed to sound like.

This little friend is LEGIT.

Great Mandolin For Beginners

This is a great mandolin for beginners. I bought this Mandolin as i was looking to start learning. This is the perfect 1st mandolin you could buy. The price is very good value and the build quality is also very good. The only thing i am not a fan of is the tuner keys on this instrument. They are not as smooth as i would like and takes more attention to tune this instrument. Other than that I have nothing but praise for this instrument.

Much recommended for anyone looking to start playing Mandolin who just wants another to add to the collection.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received my order.

The finish is great.The mandolin looks like its worth a lot more. The delivery was supper fast. The sound quality is good.

Over all I am really happy.I have ordered a number of Harley Benton items and I cannot fault them. Great value and great quality.
