Are Eastman and Kentucky mandolins a good purchase? I know that they are made in China, but I've read some good things about them. Is there a noticeable difference in tone between the $1,000 Eastman and Kentucky mandolins as verses a $5,000 Northfield mandolin? Thank you.

Speaking for myself; I've owned a 02 Gibson F9 and a 2012
Kentucky KM 1000.
I sold them both when I got my
The Loar LM 700.
Thanks, I'll check out the Loar LM 700.

I would agree with the gentleman that recommended finding a Gibson A9.
