Title: It's a 5 for value
Review: I took a chance on this after reading the other reviews for this item. I was looking for a starter instrument and didn't want to spend a few hundred on something I wouldn't like in a few months if I liked the mandolin. I also didn't want to spend a ton on an instrument before I knew if I was going to stick with playing it. My main concern was not the look, but whether it would stay in tune. You have to follow the advice of others and change the strings when you get it, but out of the box with the new strings it sounds fine, and after the string break-in period stays in tune wonderfully.I'm really happy with the value for the money. I could have paid 3 or 4 times this and still been pleased, but for $50 it's a really great deal.
