This
mandolin is a good starter and intermediate-level instrument. It is not
a main-brand name, and the price and shipping are priced for
affordability. It is a nice product and good value for the cost.
Strongly recommended that take off the factory stock strings and put on
a good set of Martin Mandolin strings. Please see Product Exception
Note below. For best results, please request the mandolin tuning
instructions, which also provides instruction about how to position the
bridge for best intonation. If you are looking for a higher-end
mandolin, write me a message and ask. Don't bid if you are expecting a
high-end mandolin. This is a flat-top mandolin, often referred to as a
Celtic style (pronounced ''kel-tick'').

About Mandolin Strings and Tuning the Instrument
Mandolin
strings are made of metal and for the first few hours, they will tend
to stretch. It may take a few days for the strings to fully settle
in. No matter the brand name of strings, they are going to stretch
when you first put them on. Because of this, do not expect any
mandolin to hold it's tuning on the first attempt. Good strings are
very important. If you need mandolin tuning instructions, click on the link below. There is no implied warranty on strings.

Product Exception Notes
This
item has pre-installed strings. There
have been many that were shipped with the D and A strings, as same
gauge, which means that you won't be able to tune the instrument until
you change out the A-strings. Given that we recommend that you put on
a good set of Martin 80/20 mandolin strings or buy a set of Alice Brand
strings from our store (just as good as Martin strings), the issue
about strings may not be an issue for
you. However, the product is shipped direct from the manufacturer and
we offer no warranty on strings. Put on a good set of strings and it
will make all the difference. Follow the mandolin tuning instructions
and call us if you need help tuning the mandolin. If you use the ''Buy
it Now'' purchase
option, you will get extra set of strings included. If you go with
an auction bid, strings are not included. If you placed a ''Bid'' and
you still want strings, let us know and we will add the strings to your
invoice $6.00 per set of strings. If you have won the auction bid and wish to add the digital tuner and two sets of strings, please see eBay item 370245930604.

NOTE REGARDING EBAY'S USE OF THE TERM ''FREE SHIPPING''
In some of our listings, we post a
price and add shipping charges. On other items, we may include shipping costs.
If the item is listed with a shipping cost, it means that you are
paying for the item and the associated shipping cost. Some items
are marked as ''Free Shipping, which means that the price you pay
includes the cost to ship the item. If your address is outside the US
48 states, such as Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or out the USA, there
will be additional shipping costs. For those items where shipping is
included in the purchase price, the cost to ship to you will be
deducted from you refund. You are responsible for return
shipping costs.
As a clarification, eBay uses the term ''Free
Shipping.'' However, eBay is misrepresenting the ''free shipping'' term
because the fact is this: Shipping is not free. We are charged a fee by our distribution
center for UPS, FedEx, and Postal shipments, and that cost to ship is
passed along as an ''included'' cost in the total purchase price. For
example, there are times we will post the Huntington Guitar at $39
plus shipping, and on other listings, we will post the same item as
$59 '' including '' shipping. The difference to eBay is that
they collect higher seller fees on a $59 item (free shipping) than a
$39 item (cost plus shipping). The difference to eBay is that they
collect 12% fees, or $7.08 on a $59 item, versus $4.68 on a $39 item.
Thus, we would rather offer the item as price + shipping rather than
pay more fees to eBay.
DETAILED SELLER RATINGS
It should be noted that eBay is resorting to
coercive tactics in an
attempt to encourage (force) sellers to list all items as ''Free
Shipping'' and they are doing this by means of the Detailed Seller
Ratings, which allows you the buyer to rate the aspects of the
transaction on a scale of 5 to 1. PLEASE NOTE -- Any DSR score less
than a 5 is very damaging to sellers. Any DSR score lower than a five
( 5 ) causes harm to sellers: It will impair a seller's search
standings, increase the fees that eBay charges seller's, and if
sellers are scored with a 1 or 2, it could result in eBay terminating
a seller's account. So, please when you rate a transaction on eBay,
please post a five on all DSRs. If you have a problem with your
purchase, please -- please give us a reasonable opportunity to correct
it.
