Oscar Schmidt OM10EWH Acoustic Electric Mandolin

Great begginer mando

and I could not be happier. It was a really good price I’ve been playing this mandolin almost every day for about 6 months now, and I could not be happier. It was a really good price, and the sound was way better than I expected. A bit of the black gunk on the fingerboard ribs off on your fingers for your first few jam sessions, but then it reaches a good equilibrium. This is a $150 instrument, and you get what you pay for, but I am very happy with this investment. Get some heavy picks, and a strap and you should be good. Strings that it came…

Completely Satisfied! Disclaimer: I am NOT a mandolin player, yet. I have, however, been playing drums, guitar and bass for 40+ years and have been playing, repairing, trading and buying guitars and other instruments just as long.This mandolin was delivered via FedEx today. It came in a cardboard box and inside the box it had some foam wrapped around it, and just a wee bit of packing material. Although I though it should be packed a little better, there was absolutely no damage, so can’t knock that…
