Subject: RE: Choosing a mandolin in UK
Allo...

Of course, Richard B, OP does need a BG jobby..   I'm just so chuffed with my Oakwood, I sometimes canna see the wood for the trees!! ;-) Ok, I also have an Eastman 515 f-style... 500 quid and certainly OK but nowhere near as well made as the Oaky, for similar price.   In fact, the finish was so bad I took it all off and started again!! I also have an MT2 which is yet another kettle of fish!! That thing was megabucks but the Oakwood beats em all for VFM... (IMHO);-) ( I love em all really....)

                   Regards to all...Spot :-)
