Great value - It sounds good and I expect to be making music with it for many years to come.

It’s a good little starter mandolin for sure, my only suggestion should you look at buying one is to upgrade the strings and remove the scratch guard. Doing these things made it sound notable smoother and richer as opposed to tinny. All in all I would recommend to a begging though :)

I was so pleasantly surprised when i opened my package. The mandolin was expertly packed! The gig bag is very high quality and the included accessories are high quality too. The mandolin itself is flawless. No imperfections that i can see. Mine is a beautiful gloss black and the hardware is quality chrome. I like the little bit of heft that the mandolin has. I've never owned one before so i was unsure of the weight of one. I have many guitars, violins and ukuleles. I'm so eager to get this tuned up and start playing. In a few days i'll come back and update my review with my thoughts on the playability. Overall, so far, i'm super happy with this purchase.

The pick guard has rough edges other than that it is a really nice beginner instrument to learn on!
A beginner's book would be a nice addition to the package.

It was a gift for my daughter. The mandolin looks solid and it comes with extra strings and tuning device.
Shipping was fast, the packaging very good.

I could not be happier with this as my first mandolin. It shipped out and arrived promptly, the wood is beautiful condition, its has a crisp clear sound, the bag has a good sturdy feel, and the tuner works great and has easy modes for my other instruments.

A great mandolin with a perky sound as good as other higher priced mandolins. It comes with
a good quality padded bag. The tuner works well for the mando in the violin setting. I haven't
played it that much yet, but I look forward to giving it more playing time!

Mandolin arrived with superb packaging to protect it.
The kit contains everything a beginner would need to get started. Replacement strings, electronic tuner, travel bag etc.
I did purchase a leather strap, just because I am new and a strap frees up both hands.
HIGHLY recommend for anyone starting out. VERY fun instrument, well constructed and with a price you'll find hard to beat.

Great beginner mandolin, I had one small issue with the tailpiece but Donner customer service fixed the issue right away. Good value for the money and due to the great customer service I will buy other beginner instruments in the future from Donner for my musical kids. Quite satisfied.

With the holiday rush, I have not been able to play my mandolin much. It is my very first and I’m only learning. At the beginning, I thought it sounded unusual......tinny or something vibrating........it was a simple adjustment at the bridge. It sounds beautiful now and I’m practicing and learning more chords. All is well with the world......at least mine. Lol. Thank you.

The order was shipped promptly and arrived earlier than expected.

This mandolin came with everything I needed, picks, extra strings, cloth and best of all, a tuner, that is so very handy and accurate.

This is a perfect first Mandolin. Not only that, but the extra things it comes with makes it a perfect package. Would certainly recommend it to a friend.

Not easy to set up or initially tune but great to play and lively lovely sound. Much Better than the price would suggest
Jeff K.
Wasn't too sure what to expect as very reasonably low priced. Outstanding. Superb quality, great set up with strap, tuner and everything you need to get going. Tuned the strings up and have given it a thorough playing and it is still in tune! Can't fault this in any way and blown away by the lovely sound and quality.

For beginners like me, this is a good mandolin. Excited to learn how to play it.
