Thomann Octave Mandolin M1087 5-stars Reviews

Spot on!

I had mine delivered yesterday - took four days to the UK - out of the box the setup was spot on - action was as the most common recommendations I found on the Internet. Intonation was very good though just slightly out on the G sting which could be improved by a compensated bridge. Slight relief in the neck but there seems to be no reason to adjust the truss rod. No string buzz. Would heartily recommend!

Joining the ranks of lockdown musicians I was looking for an instrument that would fill my soul with joy. My hands are too small and broken to handle a guitar and while I started playing the baritone ukulele a few months back I was after something a little deeper and richer in sound. This beautiful OM does not disappoint. I took to to a luthier for some minor tweaks and the bridge was repositioned but otherwise it arrived in beautiful condition l(and incredibly fast!). It has a warm sound and while I still have a long road ahead of me learning to play I am very happy with this mandolin!
