This place is incredible. Where else can you try 30 high-quality mandolins in one room? The owner was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable - when I told him what I was looking for, he picked out exactly the mandolin I needed (I still tried all the others, but he was right). Everyone is jealous of my new mandolin. What a great experience and I'm really happy with my purchase. Thank you so much!

I (Andy) talked with Zach Vance extensively about a new mandolin and picked up an Eastman 515cc tru tone which is more of the cherry/red color after Zach said he just liked the tone better. Being somewhat new to playing Zach led me in the right direction for a great setup instrument and great sounding mandolin. I didn’t realize how effortless playing can be and how much more enjoyable it is from my hand me down I started out with. Thanks Zach and also the Mandolin Store for answering honestly questions you get.

Great selection and specialized sales. I had a bad experience shopping Amazon for a KM1050 mandolin and it was set right buying from the mandolin store. Not only can you get a lemon on Amazon, you get no support. I returned my mandolin and bought the same model from TMS. It was a great experience and I recommend them 100%. My mandolin came in Much better shape than the Amazon “seconds” I was originally sold. Zach included a nice featherweight case vs the stock soft bag. Great experience all around.
