I had a Harmony Arch Top for many years and was very satisified, the action was greatly improved when I changed the bridge for a Gibson. (this is a good way of getting excellent results on a budget). Unfortunately it didn't survive dropping a melodeon player on it. Now I have an Antoria F mandolin which I got for a bargin 350UKP about 8 years ago and would recoment to anyone. I have looked at some hand made instruments and they are wonderful, as is the Gibson, but I would need to play professionaly at least 3 nights a week to justify the expense. Tinkle on. Dave.
