"I love this Instrument!"

Not much of a Mandolin player when i got the wild hair up my fanny to try something new. After researching a lot and consulting my ever shrinking budget I settled on this Mandolin. I am not sorry I did either. The Instrument is beautiful and it has a great (to me) Sound. It feels good in the hands and has a very fast action. If you are looking for an instrument that won't cost you thousands, then I recommend this one to learn on, then you can always upgrade down the road...
Musical Background:
Harmonica, Guitar, Bass, keyboard, percussion, world percussion, horns and wind instruments, bagpipes
Musical Style:
I like all Genres of music from classical to Classic Rock, Blues to Blue Grass and jazz to metal.
