Understated but well executed
Anonymous 23.05.2016
The Loar LM-590-MS is a great mandolin for it's price point. I suspect like most Chinese made instruments quality control may be variable, but I cannot complain as I have a good one. The finish is deliberately understated but well executed.

The neck is quite wide for a mandolin with oversize fret wire that makes it feel familiar to my guitarists fingers. I have a couple of other mandolins - an A style and traditional bowl back, both of which have narrower fretboards and finer fret wire. The Loar is easier to play and has that solid bluegrass 'chop'

The sound is very full, much less bright than my other mandolins, but that may be, in part, due to the heavier gauge strings fitted as stock. My preference is for a lighter gauge and I will swap these strings out very soon.

The mandolin arrived with the strings de-tensioned and, I'd guess, having had a basic set up. Mandolins can be tricky to set up, but I had this Loar playing nicely inside 30 minutes. If you are not experienced with setting up your Mandolin you may need some assistance but that should be well rewarded as the basic instrument is very sound and a joy to play once set up.

Bang for buck

Good full sound, good craftsmanship and worth every penny. For anyone who doesn’t know, this price range is where good mandolins start, and this is a fine mandolin :)

Super Klang
Ann-Sophie 30.10.2015
Beratung im Store war super, Klang ist noch besser als ich mir vorgestellt habe, sehr warm aber trotzdem klar und von einer Lautstärke die ich so nicht erwartet hätte. Verarbeitung ist an manchen Stellen nicht ganz so gut ( an den F-Löchern( heißt das bei Mandolinen so?) ists nicht ganz bündig abgeschmirgelt) wie ich es mir für den Preis eigentlich erwarte, aber da das nur ein optischer Mangel ist ( vll auch ein Einzelfall) und nichts an der Akustik trübt bin ich trotzdem voll zufrieden.

The Loar LM-590-MS
Jeppebas 01.09.2016
Efter att ha läst alla forumtrådar i världshistorien, om mandoliner, med kriteriet - Den bästa billiga mandolinen, så är jag enig med den allmänna uppfattningen.
The Loars LM-590 har inget utöver det vanliga.
Den är något slarvigt lackad på vissa ställen men låter helt rätt och stämmer klockrent.
Dessutom är den otroligt lätt att justera till önskad stränghöjd med det höj och sänkbara stallet.
Är man ute efter en mandolin som är relativt billig men som låter och spelar 5 ggr dyrare så är The Loar LM-590 helt rätt val.
