Sure is nice to see a mention of mandolins again on the Mudcat! ;-)
I play a Mid-Mo that I bought from fellow Mucatter, Wesley S.; a beautiful instrument with a very sweet sound. My main squeeze is the mandolin that my father-in-law made for me, in the style of a Gibson F (Loar). I love them both. Very, very different sounds from them. The Mid-Mo is perfect for my Irish music and the Italian folk songs that I love to play (wonderful for tremelos), and my homemade mandolin pretty much takes on everything else in sweet style.
