Obviously, this isn't a top of the line mandolin, but it is a decent one for beginners and practicing. Either the shipping isn't very kind to the instrument or the factory doesn't make it at the highest quality, but one of the high e strings' loop broke as soon as I started tuning it. That said, the bridge and the seven other strings were in decent shape. In short, if you want a cheap mandolin that might need only a small amount of work, go for this.

As a musician with guitar, piano, bass, ukulele, and harmonica in my repetoire, I was looking for the next step musically. I was looking for something to play bluegrass music, to expand my horizons, so I looked at the mandolin. Being a music student, I wanted something I do buy with a VERY limited income, and this mandolin fit the bill. I decided to give it a shot, and realize that starter instruments are ok for me. (I have a $30 dollar ukulele, no complaints)
If you are like me, you'll want something you can learn on, you wouldn't give a new driver a Cadillac, why give a beginning mandolin player a Gibson? This instrument is perfect for the avid musician looking to expand on your talents.

For 40 bucks, not bad, but be prepared to:
- sand down the bridge (way too high as many have said)
- adjust the location of bridge
- spend $6-7 on some decent strings
I did all of the above and found the sound much improved.
This ia a beginner's mandolin, so be realistic. I gave it 4 stars for the price and ease of improving it to something decent enough to learn on.

Mine Arrived yesterday. Great sound, great fingerboard, and great fun for the price. If you are thinking of learning or are a mandolin player - great instrument to have around.

My experience is mostly in bass and electric guitar. What can I say?
My expectations were met for a student model instrument. Not knowing the mandolin very well, I consider this money well spent. I agree with another reviewer that the action is a tad high, but that is a relatively easy fix. The finish is nothing stellar; simple black, but decent for the price.
My biggest complaint is that I don't really like the machine heads. Once again, you get what you pay for. Would I spend good money on better tuners for this? It's not worth the price, but all in all, they still function adequately.
Would I gig with this? No, not likely, but I still play the heck out of it at home.
