Eastman MDO305 A-style Octave Mandolin

The Eastman MDO305 A-Style Octave Mandolin is a premium all-solid wood instrument designed for players who want rich, resonant tone in a deeper register than a standard mandolin. Tuned one octave below standard mandolin tuning, it delivers warm, full low-end sound and vibrant projection — ideal for small ensembles, singer-songwriters, folk, Celtic, Americana, and studio work.

Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this octave mandolin combines clarity and sustain with balanced warmth and dynamic response. The enlarged A-style body with S-holes enhances bass response and note definition, giving you rich tone and punchy articulation.

The maple neck with a comfortable “Soft V” profile and ebony fingerboard make playability smooth and inviting, while the 21″ scale length and quality geared tuners ensure accurate fretting and stable tuning across all registers. A padded gig bag is included so you’re ready for rehearsals, gigs, or travel right away.

Perfect for:
• Expanding your sound beyond standard mandolin range
• Players who want fuller, deeper tones without sacrificing clarity
• Acoustic performers, ensembles, and recording sessions
