Wesley S...Thanks.

Generally, I find an archtop a little more versatile than a flattop. The Moon does the celtoidish and folk/rock material very well, and the Cox does most everything else well. However, on any one day they can sub for each other just fine. I tend to prefer less chop than what I hear in bluegrass playing.

Recently played another National resonator mandolin which rocks great, and a Gibson A9 which folks great. Some day, some way.

Peace, Mooh.
