Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The HBMA-100 is a remarkably affordable mandolin, perfect for beginners or players wanting a bluegrass-ready instrument without a premium price tag. The build quality is surprisingly solid for the cost, and it’s a great way to get into the mandolin world. Expect a brighter, slightly less complex tone than a higher-end maple mandolin, but it's a fantastic value.
