Bought this to tinker with and to learn on. Visually the mandolin looks great, and fret work seems decent with no sharp ends. However, the intonation was really bad as bought from the store, particularly in the lower frets

Bought to noodle around the house, as is it was a cheap playable mandolin. I replaced bridge and tuners and had a set up. Now it plays really well.

It's just what I needed. Now all I need to do is practice.

I play the ukulele and decided to try my hand at the mandolin. You can't beat the price of this instrument (and free shipping!) as a first one to learn on. It arrived packed well and in perfect condition. I'll probably get new strings and have it set up when the stores reopen. Until then, I'll be busy learning chords and scales. I thought that trying to learn a new instrument would be confusing, but it has made my uke playing improve tremendously. Well worth the money!

The workers in their are awesome. I'm just learning and I love my new mandolin. Not very good at playing it but definitely great for learning for the price! Couldn't be happier.

Great instrument! It was packaged well. It was easy to set up and tune. You slide the bridge to the center of the f holes and then make small adjustments. This mandolin has a beautiful sunburst finish. It has a nice neck. It sounds really pure, but not as robust as other mandolins I've played. Great buy! Thanks Sam Ash!

This Mandolin for $99 is just the right instrument for me, at age 79, to get started. It sounds good when I get the notes right. My teacher takes a more expensive instrument off the rack for our lesson. He makes it sound great. But we were both pleased by the sound my chords made at the last lesson.

A lot of the instruments Carlo Robelli has been making are really cool for super cheap prices. Granted most of them are intro level axes. This mando plays fine and has an O.K. sound for under $100. Stays in tune decently too. -this is a staff review by skern at Sam Ash 57
