The Eastman MD415 provides an excellent value in the line. It is very similar to the MD515, yet priced closer to the 315.  This mandolin is a stunning example of Eastman quality and has the classic Black-top finish combined with a naturally finished mahogany back and sides. The fingerboard is radiused ebony and has Jescar fret-wire. The mahogany back results in a slightly warmer tone than the 515. Otherwise, the two mandolins are very close to one another.
