Thread Name: mandolin recommendations?
Subject: RE: mandolin recommendations?
Hey ya'll (and a big hey to Mooh),

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.

All the best, Áine
