This Hondo Mandolin and Accessory Pack is offered by Oklahoma Vintage Guitar. This HMAN 10 Beginner Edition Mandolin is new and it is cheap. At Oklahoma Vintage Guitar we are always looking for good somewhat quality instruments that cost less for our customers who want something cheap. If you are new to the Mandolin World, please note this is a "CHEAP" mandolin. A nice high quality Mandolin hard shell case costs about $200 and this is a mandolin that is less than HALF of what the mentioned case costs. Your mandolin Teacher probably plays a Gibson F5 Fern or a Weber and many of those cost over $5000. He or she is not going to like this "CHEAP" manodlin. They want you to buy one that has the quailty of their $5000 mandolin. It CANNOT be done for $100 or $200 or even $400. This is a great little mandolin for the money but if you are trying to buy something to impress your friends or your mandolin teacher, "THIS AIN'T IT." It is CHEAP and if you want something CHEAP, just to play around with, here it is. However, don't buy this mandolin expecting to get a $1000 mandolin. It is $89 and it will cost you almost as much in shipping both ways to return it as it did to buy it. If you want a better mandolin, we have them, but "THEY AIN'T CHEAP." This Mandolin has a sound and a feel and quality of fine workmanship of those much more expensive but it is CHEAP. However, unlike other mandolins in this price range, this model tunes easily and stays in tune. The action on the neck is relatively easy to play and easy on your fingers. It has that classic Traditional Sweet Mandolin sound. It sings with great highs for fast lead licks, yet has a great throaty bite on those clean rhythm chops. The touch and feel are soft and clean and the sound of Nato Mahogany and Spruce combination is awesome. It is relatively easy to play and has a fantastic bluegrass sound acoustically. This Hondo is an A Mandolin with all wood construction. It has a nicely grained Spruce top. The fingerboard is the easy to play smooth style and along with the adjustable bridge is of rosewood. The body has a beautiful Classic Vintage Sunburst Semi Gloss finish. The neck is really smooth and fast and very comfortable with a semi gloss finish. The peg-head has nickel tuners with pearl white buttons for the most precise and enduring intonation possible. Give us a call toll free at 1-888-422-0788 if you have questions about this mandolin. Your satisfaction is always our priority here at Oklahoma Vintage Guitar.
A Word About the Topwood In This Instrument
Spruce has become an industry standard for high quality tonewoods. It is a very versatile top that works well for all styles of playing. Presently abundant makes it under appreciated, but it is one of the all time best tonewoods. The color is fairly light when new and becomes golden over time. A Pacific Northwest wood.
You also get a great accessories pack which includes a great Mandolin Instruction Book and a Lesson CD. You get a mandolin strap, and three picks and a quality padded mandolin gig bag case. The case has backpack straps and a convenient pouch to carry accessories. The lesson book and the gig bag are upgraded from time to time. So, if these two items don't look exactly as the ones in the picture it is because they have been updated or upgrade to one of equal or more value. Remember, you are ordering almost $400 worth of gear for only $99. This is a good mandolin that works well for a beginner and many have played them for years and had great service out of them. It is NOT a $5000 Gibson F5, so please realize you are buying a good sturdy mandolin with $100 worth of Gear for $99 to get started on. This is a good value for $99 and everything you need to get started and learn to play mandolin. The book has lots of great songs and mandolin chords and great instruction on how to play them all. Give us a call toll free at 1-888-422-0788 if you have questions about this mandolin pack. Your satisfaction is always our priority here at Oklahoma Vintage Guitar.
