The Eastman MD805 is a professional-grade A-style mandolin that blends time-honored craftsmanship with rich, articulate tone. Built with a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this instrument is made to sing with clarity and projection. The MD805 is a fantastic choice for bluegrass, folk, old-time, and Celtic players alike — offering the kind of response, resonance, and dynamic control you'd expect from instruments twice its price.

Its carved top and F-hole design produce a punchy, focused tone that cuts through the mix in ensemble settings while still offering warm sustain and sweet trebles for soloing or melodic work. The 13 7/8" scale and ebony fingerboard with a comfortable 12" radius feel responsive under the fingers, and the Gotoh tuners keep tuning stable even through heavy play. Whether you're a seasoned performer or a serious student, the MD805 delivers the tonal complexity and build quality you need to take your playing to the next level.

This model also features beautiful visual appointments, including ivoroid binding on the top, back, fingerboard, and headstock, pearl dot inlays, and a gloss finish that shows off the flame in the maple. The Eastman cast tailpiece and compensated ebony bridge round out the high-end hardware package. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, it ships with a softshell case for safe and convenient transport.
