Eastman PCH-M104 Flat Top Mandolin – Classic Finish

Mandolin-curious musicians take note: you’ll be hard-pressed to find an instrument better than Eastman’s PCH-M104 at providing the perfect mix of quality, price, and striking visual appeal to the absolute beginner. With a solid Sitka spruce top and an oval hole, the PCH-M104 boasts a bold sound full of the projection and chime that every mandolinist looks for, but without compromising on lows or mids, making it the perfect tool for ripping out your first few fiddle tunes or filling in the space above the guitar in an Americana group. We added Eastman’s Truetone Classic satin stain on top to give the PCH-M104 an eye-popping aesthetic flourish that matches its confident tone. Included in the price is a padded Eastman gig bag.
