Now that I know the truth about Kelly with one "e," I am not as excited about their product, unless I am mistaken.

What's a good name of mandolin with a price that, I would prefer, is less than $1000 that could last me my whole life. I love my Maple Mountain banjo from Gold Tone and that retails at $900 (I got it for less, thank goodness).

Again, many thanks for the help thus far.
