ADM Acoustic Mandolin Instrument Kit Music A Style for Kids Students Adults Wood Mandolins Beginner Set With Bag, Tuner, EQ, Strap, Strings, Picks and Hanger, Blue

You know, I was honestly worried about this product the more I read up on it after finally deciding to buy it. Honestly though, it has far exceeded my expectations. This is my first mandolin so take my review with a grain of salt. However, I have played guitar for 15 years and I'm very satisfied with the seemingly solid construction and sound of this product. The strings do need to be replaced eventually but for someone just learning, they'd be fine. The additional packet of strings that come with it may be better quality than what's on it but, the safest bet is to actually go and get strings you know will be good. It comes with all sorts of accessories as well. The most awesome, in my opinion has to be the wall hangar. The other items include, as mentioned above, extra strings as well as picks, a shoulder strap, and what seems to be a cheap yet functional tuner. It comes with a soft carry case as well as a fabric bag for the accessories. A fantastic 0roduct from what I can see so far but only time will really tell. In which case, I will update my review but until then 5 stars is definitely the appropriate rating. Oh and I almost for got to mention a little piece you can use to plug it in to an amplifier so, yeah. A really awesome little kit.

I purchased this mandolin for my husband. He does play a few musical instruments so thought he would enjoy learning the mandolin and he has not been disappointed. He enjoys playing the mandolin and states it is good quality and easy to learn on. The mandolin came with everything you would need including a case and strap. Highly recommend this for a beginner.

I’ll update if things go bad… but this kit has everything. I’m not a beginner, and had low expectations… but the instrument is nice! Blue-teal color, good craftsmanship, and it plays very well and sounds fantastic for a beginner instrument.It includes a padded backpack/handled gig bag with a small pocket. My only complaint is the flat pocket can’t hold all the accessories they send!! But they do include a little drawstring pouch to hold it all.It came with everything shown in the ad plus a cleaning cloth and string to adapt the strap so you can tie it to the base of the headstock. The wall hanger is adjustable in size and can hold anything you want if you trust the drywall anchors it comes with. It’ll certainly hold this mandolin or a ukulele or acoustic guitar. The picks are for guitars but a beginner won’t know better. They work if you aren’t used to the mandolin ones.I thought the tuner would be crap but it is nice too. Doesn’t scratch the finish. Mine was missing the promised battery, but the instructions say the battery included is just to see that it works… so have a CR2023 on hand either way. It says put it in the correct direction but didn’t say what that was…. Positive out… I included a photo to help others. The screen is blue usually and turns green when you are in tune (to any note, so get it close first). Nice touch so you don’t have to look so hard doing the fine tuning. It us chromatic so you can use it for any instrument.You need to tune it when it arrives. And it’ll take a few passes (took me three), but this is normal. As you tighten the strings, it’ll move the bridge and the other strings change tension and you need to go back again (and again). They send it with the strings a bit loose to not warp the neck. But so far mine has held tune with all the original parts.I’m impressed given the very low cost. Unless you are looking for a professional instrument, this is great for beginners or practice while traveling.

Overall we are happy with this purchase. The mandolin is very nice and it comes with everything you need to get started. I will say the color in the photo does not match the color of the mandolin which is actually closer to a teal ( think Miami Dolphins blue) than the nice deep blue it shows. Still a very nice color though. Overall this was a good purchase.

Package well , great value and lots of extras . Would recommend

I love this mandolin! It is not blue like the picture it is more of a green, so that was disappointing but it was cheap. I got mine 'like new - used' for $55 and it still was in the original packaging and everything was there. Very satisfied with this purchase. It is great for beginners like me that have never played before. I don't think I would pay full price for this but is well worth the price I paid. :)

El instrumento empieza a trastear después de muy poco uso

The description is misleading. It says maple top, but it's actually plywood, not solid maple.
