“Recently, I had personally evaluated over 30 mandolins from major manufacturers; all of them with in the $3000 - $10,000 price range. I did not find a single instrument that met our tonal standards… not one. Then Eastman sent me two model 815 Mandolins, also under a very tight deadline and BOTH of these instruments were truly remarkable right out of the box. The craftsmanship, the finish, the wood… and most importantly, these craftsmen have a thorough understanding of what elements are required to make a great instrument. These are fantastic mandolins. They are absolutely among the best that I have ever had in my hands.”

“Just prior to going onstage, Peggy handed me his Eastman Mandolin and beckoned me to play...
...It really was a beauty, such resonance and great tone; little wonder he rates it as about the best he's yet played.”

Acoustic magazine

“I need a mandolin that I can play any style of music with. My Eastman 615 has proven itself in the areas of tone, volume, and versatility. It also looks great. We are fortunate enough to live in a time where mandolin building is reaching another historic apex, and Eastman is at the forefront. Make no mistake, this IS a professional mandolin. I'm proud to say that I play Eastman exclusively.”

“My Eastman 605 and 615 are both outstanding instruments that just keep getting better with time. My hardest decision these days is which one to play today. What a wonderful dilemma!”

“I received my Eastman 605 back in February and became an instant convert. The craftsmanship was superior but beyond that the tone and volume was out of this world. It by far has the most even tone I have ever seen in a mandolin. The natural finish is beautiful and this little instrument is a cannon! Make no mistake it is a totally professional mandolin. I have used it in studio, and on the road and it has held it's own. This A model has everything anyone could ask for in a bluegrass mandolin. I am heavy handed and it please me to know when I want to play a Wakefield tune it comes through with tone and volume to spare! Thanks Eastman for bringing this great deal to the forefront!”

“I knew the moment I received my new Eastman that it was the mandolin I had been waiting for all my life. It has the sound I've been hearing in my heart, as well as — okay, I'll admit it — the looks, too. The richness and complexity of tone are what a mandolin should sound like.”

“Eastmans are mid-priced instruments but nonetheless are truly impressive re-creatons of vintage American mandolins. It took me matter of seconds to conclude that Eastman had banished forever any lingering prejudices that Chinese made instruments are of poor quality.”
