Thread Name: Your 'dream' instrument, $ not a factor
Subject: RE: Your 'dream' instrument, $ not a factor
I'm like CarolC, mollywog, Merritt and Alanabit...I already have my dream instruments (after owning many dozens over the last 40 years!) and aspire now to nothing else:
Chris Eccleshall A.5 "Pearly" mandolin (had this for 21 years now) Lakewood custom M-18 guitar Terry Docherty octave mandolin/mandola Lyon and Healy short-scale tenor banjo Roland Meinl latin percussion setup
The octave mandolin was the dearest of these but I got this secondhand in mint condition thanks to the goodwill of two Mudcatters.
Of course, if someone were to offer me a nice Gibson A.3 circa 1915 free of charge I would certainly not turn it down...(but would still primarily play the Chris Eccleshall)!
