Tobias Music - Chicago Area’s Finest Guitars (and mandolins)

Celebrating 47 Years as your hometown Guitar Shop (and mandolins).

Eastman’s newest release in their mandolin range, the PCH series, brings quality craftsmanship within reach. Designed to offer exceptional value, these mandolins make professional-level tone more affordable than ever.

Each Eastman mandolin is carefully handcrafted in Beijing by a dedicated team of skilled luthiers and artisans. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence result in instruments built to the highest standards of quality and sound.

The A-style, or teardrop-shaped mandolins, emphasize clean, elegant design with a focus on simplicity and performance. While less ornate than F-style models, they deliver the same rich tone and strong projection, making them a smart choice for players seeking premium sound without the premium price. Renowned for their bright, articulate voice, A-style mandolins are particularly well-suited to classical, folk, and Celtic genres.

Oval-hole mandolins are prized for their warm, resonant tone—often described as vocal or expressive. The oval sound hole, placed directly beneath the string courses, enhances natural reverb and adds depth to the instrument’s voice. This unique tonal quality makes them a favorite for ensemble and solo performances in Celtic, Americana, and traditional folk music.
