I chose this model of mandolin because of the objective reviews, which have a value of 5 stars. I would like to subtract one star. When I opened the package, there were two cardboard sheets on the mandolin: a certificate of quality and a certificate of final inspection. The basic tuning was half a tone lower. The tones differed from each other. It was about an octave off by one fret. I moved the bridge to 356mm. It's fine now. It is true that Thomman states a length of 350mm. I don't mind this 25mm error. There was no need to change the neck and bridge height, it sounds great, so it remains on all stars. I have been a musician since childhood. On stringed instruments: guitar, banjo, ukulele, folk stringed instruments and mandolin,.....This mandolin is the eighth that has passed through my hands and ears.
