Answer: The strings that come with this mandolin are from the brand Martin. -
Question:
Is this mandolin wider at the nut than most mandolins to make it easier to play?

Question:
Does it have a book back or flat?

Question:
Is it comfortable?
Answer: Yes, The Loar LM-520 is comfortable to play and is a joy to use.
