This one was super cheap for a musical instrument, and it had very good reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I'm very very happy that I did.My big concern when I bought this was "Is it going to sound like a $65 instrument?" The price, and the fact that, as of this writing, the person who wrote the description doesn't even know how many strings a mandolin has, had me a little bit nervous.Once I got the package those fears were put to rest. The mandolin was packaged well, inside of the gig bag, with the bridge already set up and strings on and very near to being in tune, so I could tell that someone tuned it up before they shipped it. I had a mandolin before, that cost about 4 times what this one did, and this one sounds the same and stays in tune better. It's a good-looking instrument, as well. Playability is excellent, and the sound is bright but not harsh or sharp.Basically, if you want to learn mandolin and don't want to break the bank, then the good news is that you don't have to. This instrument is a ridiculous value, it sounds damn good and it's a blast to play. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1st Mandolin *by on Reviewed in the United States October 10, 2013* I have 4 guitars, and have always wanted a Mandolin, but didn't want to spend a lot on my first one. I bought this after looking at several others, and am very pleased. I know the strings aren't always the best, so I also bought a set of J-74'sto restring it with. I was really surprised in what showed up. Out of the box, there was not a single scratch, and this finish is beautiful. If someone told me this was a $300 mandolin, I would believe them. I set the bridge and tuned it, and although the strings it comes with came out of tune fairly fast, not a bad sound. I waited until I learned some basics before putting the D'Addario strings on, but the difference in sound was incredible! If you want a great instrument at a great price, you can't go wrong with this. Oh yeah, and the gig bag is a nice bonus. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for money *by on Reviewed in the United States November 13, 2015* I am giving 5 stars not because it's a perfect instrument in every way but because it's a very decent instrument for its cost.If you the knowledge on how to set up the bridge for intonation, the instrument is very playable after around 15-20mins of setting up. The string action is decent not too high or low. No dead notes. Nut height was appropriate. The supplied Allen wrench suggests the presence of a truss rod for neck relief adjustments, however I have not removed the headstock plate to confirm this yet. The instrument looks rather cheap and the paint job is mediocre but plays and sounds rather nice. My instrument had a slight paint blemish within the sunburst, but I am overlooking this issue considering its price.If you are looking for a cheap beginners instrument or a guitarist looking to noodle around on an alternative instrument without breaking the bank, I highly recommend this instrument. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/9460155-kansas-k-ma1b-mandolin-sunburst](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/9460155-kansas-k-ma1b-mandolin-sunburst) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
