The only Harley Benton product I have regretted buying.
JesperBKK 28.10.2020
This mandolin looks beautiful, the sound is loud and crisp and it stays in tune well. Frets could use a bit of sanding, but are acceptable. The wood looks and feels like laminated balsa wood, but sounds great. However, it is clearly built down to a (slightly too low) price. I guess it is OK for someone who just needs a mandolin once in a while, though.

There are some problems. The internal wiring is messy. The metal cover is held in place by friction and will eventually drop off. Some of the tuners are smooth, some are difficult to turn.

My main gripe, however, is the electronics. The pots have been scratchy from the day I received it, and the output level from the pickup is terribly noisy, and terribly low. Inserting the audio cable, feels "cheap", but so far has worked OK.

My estimate is the output level is at least -12 dB lower than the output of an electric guitar pickup. At first I thought it was faulty! Upping the gain on the amplifier also amplifies the noise, which then becomes horrendously loud. To try to eliminate the noise, I ripped out all the electronics, changed the pots and the output plug, and shielded everything, but it is still way too noisy.

I guess you could record the output in a DAW, and apply a really steep 50/60Hz low-pass/notch filter to it, but I have not tried that. Alternatively you could mic it up normally, which is what I have decided to do!

Again. An OK mandolin for the occasional player, but if I had known how noisy the electronics is, I would have gone for a more expensive mandolin, or the model without the pick-up.

Fin Mandolin til prisen
Orfeopataro 24.02.2021
Mandolinen virker især fint som akustisk instrument, men der er en del forstyrrelser i signalet når man plugger den ind i en forstærker desværre. Jeg havde blot købt instrumentet for sjov, og til det virker den helt fint.

Pick-up er overraskende god
Elephant 05.03.2018
Jeg købte mandolinen, da jeg skulle bruge den i studiet. Den er ganske fin, men man får selvfølgelig, hvad man betaler for. Alt i alt er jeg tilfreds med instrumentet, men man kan se på eksempelvis lakering og finish, at kvaliteten ikke er helt i top. Lyden er der dog, som den skal være.

Great little instrument!
Singer-Songwriter 11.07.2019
I'm mostly a guitarist/vocalist and having a mandolin in my songwriting arsenal seemed like a good idea. However, since this would be my first mandolin I just didn't want to pay too much money for it.

Couple of weeks before I ordered this I played one in the local music store. It sounded nice and played well. When I asked for the price (there was no price tag) I was unpleasantly surprised: over $600 :-(.

Time to head over to the Thomann website and check out the Harley Benton models. Much to my surprise there was a model that was below $80 (there's another one without pickup for about $55!).

Although I'm acquainted with the excellent quality of the Harley Benton Western guitars I did not know what to expect of such a cheap mandolin.

What can I say, it's a sweet little instrument, finishing is perfect and the sound is good. I'm absolutely clueless how they can manage to come up with so much quality for the price but I'm not complaining.

A couple of tips to those who are new to playing mandolin:
Replace the default strings for thinner ones like the Pyramid 529 Mandolin String Set.
Adjust the neck with the truss rod. There's a lot of tension on mandolin necks so you really want to get the action as low as possible.
