"I own it and recommend it."
A top Mandolin in the price range. Has solid top, good tuners, adjustable bridge, and easy access to changing strings (more important than you may think). Overall tone is good. Lacks adjustable neck tensioning rod, but neck seems to be made of solid hardwood. With regular string changes, it should last a long time, and be a good deal.
