Recording King RAM-3-TS Mandoline

Unbelievably good

Recently bought a Recording King guitar and was very impressed so thought I would purchase this mandolin. I absolutely love this instrument and have had no problems. It sounds great for duck an inexpensive mandolin. I like the looks and thoroughly recommend this product.

Instrument is very good, but I had problems with the packaging and shipping

Most importantly this instrument seems very good. This was going to be my first mandolin, so I am not an expert, but it sounds very good, and I think this is the cheapest solid wood mandolin you can get.

It has a nice warm sound, and the intonation is also pretty good. I think these are the most important things with an entry level instrument.

Unfortunately I had to send it back due to fret problems at the 7th and 8th fret on the A and E srings. But the new one I got didn't have that problem, so hopefully it's not usual.

Unfortunately I had to send back the new on too because of other reasons, but I wish I could have kept it...

Absolutely beautiful

Firstly, it's my first mandolin. I didn't want to get something too cheap or expensive. It was well set up when it arrived, I just tuned it up and it was ready to play. No bridge adjustment necessary. I love its shape and style. I like the look of it , I'm not a fan of the varnished look on the mandolins, this finish looks more natural. A joy to pick up and play.
