Thomann Portuguese Mandolin 2

best value for money

The mnandolin is surprisingly well made and sounds good as well.

You get a better sounding mandolin than many more expensive ones.

I use it as my everyday player and bought one for the car as well. You never know when you get some spare time.

Not what I expected

Ok, I know its not a very expensive instrument...And I have to admit that for starters, I could find my way around, figure out chord positions and stuff...but then i started to notice how easily the strings were going out of tune, how unconfortable the fret board actually is comparing to other mandolins. Not to mention some weird vibrations coming from the tuning system (caused by some pegs being loose)

Nice

Very happy with this little mandolin.

It looks good and sounds nice too.
