Grab (Graham) - so glad you found your perfect octave mandolin. A couple of years ago I intended buying a Fylde from Music Room (Cleckheaton) but was much more impressed with the Paul Hathway. I note "MandoTim" also recommended the Hathway when you were looking to buy and he seems to know his stuff.
Enjoy....
At Whitby this year the guy on Music Room's stand tried to get me interested in a Paul Shippey octave mandolin at around £1000! Nice one..
