Thread Name: What mandolin do you play?
Subject: RE: What mandolin do you play?
mrsleveller has a Paul Hathway cedar and mahogany and a Thomas Buchanan maple and spruce which is really nice. She tried a Shippey before buying the Buchanan and it was truly amazing but over twice the price of the Buchanan so we settled for a close second best. We share a Paul Hathway octave mandola which is the big brother of the mando and I've got a Fylde archtop cedar and mahogany cittern that I just couldn't put down when I tried it and has taken the place of my Freshwater which I sold. All lovely instruments (plus a 1996 Lowden guitar which is my pride and joy).
