Eastman MD504 Classic Oval Hole A

A warm, round-sounding oval-hole mandolin with solid wood construction and classic old-time character.

If you’re drawn to the warmth and openness of an oval-hole mandolin, the Eastman MD504 delivers exactly that kind of immersive, room-filling response. Compared to f-hole models, its voice is rounder, woodier, and less sharply focused - making it especially well-suited to old-time, Celtic, and classical repertoire where blend and sustain matter most. Built with a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides, the MD504 has clarity and headroom without losing that inviting, lived-in character oval-hole players love. It’s responsive under a light touch, records beautifully, and comes priced with a hardshell case - making it an easy choice for players who want real tone without stretching into boutique territory.
