The Mandolin Store

Nov 2023

I (Andy) talked with Zach Vance extensively about a new mandolin and picked up an Eastman 515cc tru tone which is more of the cherry/red color after Zach said he just liked the tone better. Being somewhat new to playing Zach led me in the right direction for a great setup instrument and great sounding mandolin. I didn’t realize how effortless playing can be and how much more enjoyable it is from my hand me down I started out with. Thanks Zach and also the Mandolin Store for answering honestly questions you get.

Great selection and specialized sales. I had a bad experience shopping Amazon for a KM1050 mandolin and it was set right buying from the mandolin store. Not only can you get a lemon on Amazon, you get no support. I returned my mandolin and bought the same model from TMS. It was a great experience and I recommend them 100%. My mandolin came in Much better shape than the Amazon “seconds” I was originally sold. Zach included a nice featherweight case vs the stock soft bag. Great experience all around.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Came in a couple weeks ago and left with a new-to-me, perfectly set up Eastman mandolin. The shop owner, Zach, gave me space to try things out, and was willing to answer any questions I had about an instrument. He also gave me a solid rec for a burger at a nearby restaurant.
