Entirely handmade in Eastman?s workshops, the MD605 Classic follows the lineage of carved-top mandolins. The choice of solid spruce for the top and flamed maple for the back and sides continues a historic craftsmanship: precise voicing, immediate response, and excellent presence in an acoustic ensemble mix.
This mandolin is suitable for intermediate to advanced players, as well as demanding beginners ready to invest in durable luthiery. Its clarity and projection make it an ideal partner for bluegrass, folk, old-time, Celtic music, and traditional repertoires, while remaining comfortable for song accompaniment and world music.
The solid carved spruce top delivers a bright attack, clear articulation, and ample volume reserve. The flamed maple back/sides enhance brightness, definition, and projection. The 13 7/8" / 352 mm scale length ensures string tension and note sustain, while the adjustable ebony bridge optimizes intonation and sustain. The bone nut and D?Addario J74 strings complete a precise and powerful tone, ideal for cutting through an acoustic mix without effort.
To preserve and optimize your MD605 Classic: a set of D?Addario EJ74 (J74) phosphor bronze mandolin strings to maintain the original character, a mandolin strap with lace (headstock or tailpiece attachment depending on your preference), a clip-on tuner for discreet onstage tuning, and a case humidifier to stabilize the instrument?s humidity.
