1Disappointing sound  Jun 07, 2010 By Greg Alan
This was a beautiful looking instrument, but the sound was disappointing. It had a strange boom to it.
I have a 30 year old cheap mando that sounded better. I sent the Washburn back.

5Very nice A style oval hole mandolin  Jul 09, 2011 By M. Luke
These Washburn mandolins are made in China like other inexpensive mandolin. However, the quality/bang-for-buck is all there. The mandolin I received required a bit of set up. I restrung it with a new set of GHS medium bronze strings. The bridge needed some adjustment to get it just right. Once the strings all settled in, the mandolin is fantastic. Great action, great sound. Oval hole mandolins sound a bit different from the A style f hole mandolins. It is also important to mute unplayed strings when playing certain riffs.

Why get one of these import mandolins in favor of the $50 mandolins that are also out there?
1) better build quality - the binding is straight and the finish is better applied as compared with those other cheaper imports. Better quality pickguard, bridge, and head.
2) oval hole as opposed to f holes give different tonal dynamics. I prefer the Italian mandolin sound from this type of mandolin.
3) truss rod for neck adjustments adds to better setup
4) smoother functioning tuning pegs
5) while the asian Washburns have come a long way from the Chicago Lyon and Healy Washburns, for me they still carry that intent and musical tradition from George Washburn.
