In a non-pandemic world the Walnut Valley Festival would have been kicking off this week. We thought it would be fun to showcase some of our favorite builders who we love catching up with at the festival every year…⁠

Eastman has long been one of our favorite builders when it comes to affordable, yet high-quality instruments here at the shop. When an opportunity came up to bring Eastman into the Winfield fold we jumped at the chance. This MD615 sports an Adirondack top along with a flamed Maple back and sides and delivers that distinctive bluegrass chop. We have a full array of Eastman mandolins in stock right now, starting at $509, so if you’ve been thinking about picking up the mando now is a great time to start! Check out our current Eastman inventory over on the website.
