Great first mandolin.
Great deal for the price. Looks beautiful and sounds pretty good too. Iโm a beginning mandolin player.
User
good value for money
The instrument is obviously machine-made, but it is finished well and dramatically resembles the old 1923 Gibson F-5. The tone may be a bit rough by comparison to the old Gibsons, but it has a good loud melodic voice.

Great quality and sound for the price!
Surprisingly well made and good tone for such a low priced F-style. I am a serious player with a handmade, custom-built F-style. I bought this to keep on my boat, and for the money, did not have high expectations. It definitely feels and sounds like a more expensive instrument!

Needed a lot of set up work
First it is pretty, and the finish and inlays, binding are done well. So yes its nice to look atIam good at set ups and have worked on Mandos a few time,s with good sucess.I have it playable but not comfortable.Next step is to level and crown the frets, Than it could be fine.I hope so i want to keep it..

Not worth the money
Very cheaply made instrument,not worth the money.The neck and fretboard were broken away from the main body of the mandolin exposing a cheap glue job and centring dowel when I took the mandolin out of the packaging. I suggest people should buy or save for one of the hand carved models such as The Loar.
