Thought I'd bring this old thread back to life after getting a lot of interest in mandolins lately through my business and personal use.
The Mid-Missouri mandolins are terrific bang for the buck. Solid woods, clean construction, decent factory set-up, nice tone, and they're reasonably loud.
I still happily play the Moon but the Mid-Mo has got my attention as a second since I've been playing some mandolin with some local boys lately and would like to electrify one and have a back-up instrument.
Are there other less obvious choices since we last spoke about this?
