If You Had $3500 for a Mando

[A9cp]

If you had $3500 to spend for a mando what would you buy. Now you have to spend it and not just buy a $500.00 mando and pocket the rest. PS, the wife ok'd the purchase. What a women.
So what would you buy ?

[BenE]

Something custom....Something like...well I don't know....a BRW! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[garyblanchard]

My cheap F-style and forfeit the rest. I would never spend that much for an instrument. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I'd never spend that much on a car! #
a Mandolin...YES! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

[doanepoole]

I'd buy a great $1500 octave mandolin, and a $2000 snakehead.

Only f-styles really sell for that much, thank God http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Lee]

Consider a Phoenix. Their rather unique so try to get a chance to play one first.

[John Flynn]

I hear you about spending that much on an instrument. Although obviously many people spend much more. I think there are just too many good deals out there for less. But that is just for me, I am not putting down anyone else's choice. (The scars haven't healed from my last flaming!)

But given the hypothetical, since this is all just folks talkin', I would order an oval hole F-style "F-4" from Bill Busssman.

[cutbait2]

a fine A model such as a Kimble, Daley, others?

[BenE]

Here is another thought....Take $500 and buy a plane ticket and go to Mandolin Brothers or Elderly and play everthing on the wall....then choose....

[John Zimm]

I'd buy a Weber. Every Weber I have played has sounded fantastic and has been an exceptionally beautiful instrument too. Our you could check out this Gibson. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3708111315&category=10179&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT&rd=1)

[Scotti Adams]

...lets dive a little deeper into this...who offers $3500 mandos...it seems to me....that is a where the biggest gap is...youve got $1500-$2500 mandos....very few at $3500....then $5000 and up.....Im talking F models... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

[jessboo]

The Elliott A5 that Ken Cartwright has.

[Andrew Reckhart]

I'd get Lou Stiver to build me another cannon with custom inlays!

[Magnus Geijer]

A Silver Angel (http://www.silverangelmandolins.com) of course. And have $1,000 left over, too.

[ethanopia]

play as many as you can, and I mean a lot (said in your bet Jim Carry voice)

buy one that sounds good feels good and makes you want to play more, you should be able to afford many many instruments in that range. And when the right one strikes your fancy. Bingo get it.

uh this message is kinda lame...

[Rich]

I'd buy a Collins MF for sure. I played one the other day and fell in love. I play a nice Jim Triggs that sounds wonderful - loud, wood, rings up high, but this Collins had 20% more tone and volume than I've heard in any mando other than the two Nuggets I've played. My mando teacher plays a Nugget that is the best sounding mandolin I've ever heard--anywhere--ever-- including recordings. Ronnie McCoury's Gilcrest comes in a real close 2nd but much of that sound is his amazing right hand technique.

http://www.picknparlor.com/collings_mando_mf.htm
to see the Collins I'm speaking so highly of. It nearly played itself!

[Fuzzyway]

Lots of great mandolins out there new and used for $3,500.

What kind of music do you wish to use this new mando with?

Do you have a preference for oval holed or scroll fever?

I just gave up two mandolins in that price range (Rigel CT-110 and Elliott A-5)and they were both excellent examples of two different kinds of sound.

I sure hope it didn't come across as a put-down. I just am incapable of spending that much on an instrument. Probably a result of growing up poor. I don't put down anyone for buying what they like. I just can't do it.

[mandolooter]

The Sullivan A at G. Boyds! Played it at Wintergrass along with 60 or so other mandolins...it and Scott T.'s Nugget where my favorites of em all. ('cept my Givens but now I got $3500 bucks of dream mando)

[Ken Sager]

Take a good look at Don Paine's Pomeroy mandolins. $3500 buys a LOT of mando. My Pomeroy F5 is a week old and d*mn if I can put it down. I also have a Collings MT2 that is an exceptional mandolin (under $3k).

Play a bunch and buy the one that knocks you out.

Seriously,

Brentrup "A" model- at least that's how
I burned up $3500!

If my wife gave me the OK to spend $3,500 on a Mandolin, I sure as heck wouldn't buy a $500.00 one and pocket the rest. Pocket the rest for what? Who among us would do that? We're talking a green light on a Mando purchase. What a woman indeed http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'd be looking at a Weber Yellowstone with Tone Bars.

$3,500 for an F style seems to be an unusual price point. As Scotti said, there appears to be fewer options for F's at this range.

[duuuude]

I'd get me a $100 Johnson and a trip to the Bahamas! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[pickinNgrinnin]

Scotti-

I think the Yellowstone is a lot of Mando at that price point too. I like the idea that Bruce Weber graduates the tops on all the carved top Mandos they sell. Bruce, of course, has a lot of experience in this business.

One of these days, I'd like to get a chance to play a BRW. They seem to get great reviews around here - for good reasons I'm sure.

[Ken Berner]

I'm with Buckley, look at the Weber F mandolins. Once in a while you can find a Montana-built Flatiron F style for about $3,500.

[Lee]

Hey A9cp; watcha letting her buy?

[goldtopper]

Summit or Stiver.
Highly underrated mandos.

[Scotti Adams]

Summit or Stiver.
Highly underrated mandos.
..yes..Iwould have to agree whole heartedly....I seen a Stiver F a couple of years ago at IBMA and it was a cannon...huge, huge sound..Ive never played or heard a Summit...

hmm...well i would agree that there are fewer options at $3500 than say two years ago. Back then you could get a bunch of nice mandos at that price. Having said that...isn't the search half the fun? As much as i like BRW's its not fair to say there aren't other great options available at that price. If you search ye shall find......

Dealer of unmentioned...wood w/strings.....

[mandofiddle]

I'd get me a guitar and a mando http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[ronlane3]

I'd look for a used Gibson F-5G or maybe even a used L.

[doanepoole]

I'd definitely be hunting down a custom builder with that kind of cash http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

For my old timey tastes, Gavin Baird or Bill Bussman for an F-4 would definitely be on the radar. #Sobell, too.

[Nick Triesch]

This is easy!! With ease you can find a terrific Weber yellowstone . You just have to take the time and hunt which is half the fun. take a look at a yellowstone up close. What you will see is very nice fit and finish great wood for the top, sides and neck and back. tap tuned and most sound wonderful. It's the best deal in F type mandolins out there. I would look for a clean used one. Most are still in great shape. As much as I love my Weber fern I probably should have bought a yellowstone. Just about the same mandolin without all the gold and stuff. I would also look for one with tonebars. Look where Webers are made on their website. They are made where God lives! Wonderful mandolins! IMHO Nick

[A9cp]

Hey Lee957, she kinda got a new car. Somehow I think I am getting the lower end of the deal, but heck a green light to spend $$ on another mando. Why not.

[jim simpson]

Buckley,
I noticed that Weber F5-G too! I currently have a 91 F5-G and a Yellowstone. I like them both but like the way the Gibson sounds better although the Yellowstone is a nicer appointed instrument. I wonder how the Weber made F5-G would compare sound-wise to the current Gibsons. I am planning to sell or trade my Yellowstone for another F5-G. I like having a spare for when one is being refretted, etc. It's nice to be able to grab a second when a string breaks during a gig too! Yes, the $3500 would buy me a new Gibson although I do prefer to buy used.

[2partinvention]

Go to www.galleryofstrings.com They might have sumthing that catches your eye ....or your wallet http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[John Zimm]

I noticed that Weber F5-G too!
My workday usually consists of a few minutes at the cafe, a few minutes at ebay, back to the cafe, and then to work. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif



I am planning to sell or trade my Yellowstone for another F5-G.
I am jealous. If I had the money I would buy your Yellowstone. That is the mandolin I currently covet. You are a lucky man, what with a Gibson and a Weber.

Don't mind me, just a little high-end mandolin envy. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

-John.

[jim simpson]

Buckley,
Yes, I am lucky to own 2 good ones. About 12 years ago I sold some less expensive instruments to get a good mandolin. I found a used G.N.Anderson for $1000. I kept it for about 8 years and traded it in on a Ratliff R5. A couple of years later I was able to trade it along with some cash and a cheap mandola for the Gibson F5-G. I had picked up a nice KM1000 japanese made Kentucky that I was able to trade in on the Weber Yellowstone along with a hunk of cash. I have always tinkered with instruments as a hobby so when I see an instrument at a yard sale or flea market, I'll pick it up, do a little work and then trade or sell them. I also put my gig money into my instrument fund. It's a neat way to generate money separate from my regular income for purchases. It's been a long journey and it's made me appreciate how I got to this point (patience and determination).

[Ajvessey]

Definitely a Sobell... if only.

[bluegrassjack2]

Find a really good small independant Luthier and have him make you a really nice mandolin for around $2k, use the rest for lessons.

[levin4now]

A nice Gibson F-4.

[Don]

I think I would contact Bill Bussman and see if he would build me two A style mandolins.Maybe an oval hole and an F hole.

[garyblanchard]

Here you go. Dale found the perfect thing:

EBay Item (http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3708978122&category=10179)

[Nolan]

I've seen a few used Duff mandos for under $4000, that would be sweet.

[Atlanta Mando Mike]

I would get an A style from a well known small maker like Old Wave (Bussman), Brentrup, Randy Wood, etc... Get it used, search the cafe classifieds until something yo think is googd comes up. Post the this message board, and co-mando, about the mandolin you like. Way the opinions and dive in. You could get lucky and land a real hoss if you show some restraint and patience. About a year and a half ago I landed a Randy Wood f-style for 4 grand that is an absolute monster. Good Luck

[Atlanta Mando Mike]

I would seriuosly stay away from buying a new mando. You don't know what you are getting, you'll have to wait and you can't test drive first. Not to mention that in that price range you will likely lose value from the start. If you resold it soon it might not fetch what you paid.

[mrmando]

$3500? Wow, that's enough to buy this vintage, one-owner, cherrywood Stradolin (http://www.mandolincafe.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=12;t=13530) on eBay...

[2partinvention]

Look up Fletcher Brock . There's one of his mandolins in the classifieds.

Hope it works

[peterbc]

There seem to be a bunch of good makers out of the czech republic. I've heard/played a few Krishots that are wonderful instruments, and I'm happy with mine (a Scrap, though I doubt you'd be able to find another!). I havn't tried some of the others like Capek, etc, but htey sound good too.

[johnnymando]

I agree with Andrew...a new Stiver or even something used like a Flatiron F5 Artist,A Rigel F,or even a F2/4 converted to an F5 that has that tone.Maybe a 60s or 70s
GibsonF5 thats been hotrodded with a regraduated top.
Whatever it is,I'd sure play it first to gauge the mojo level.
might sell my Stiver #31,but it would take $3700.
my2cents

[fatt-dad]

I would consider a Bozeman F5. I'm sure one of the trim lines would be in your range, the value would hold up and the instrument would be great. I would also consider a Collings A5 (or whatever they call it). I have never played one, but I bet they are great also.

f-d

[Russ(String-Alley)]

wow, what a great problem to have!

2 Weber's http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

cheers and good luck with your purchase, hope you find exactly the one for you.
-Russ

[Andrew Reckhart]

I found it intriguing that Stiver and Summitt were mentioned as being highly underrated. The are both in the $3500 range and Jessee McReynolds has played Stiver for years and had his own signature model of Summitt (I understand that he has since gone back to his Stivers). Maybe he knows something that we don't! Kind of funny that the two types of mandos associated with this legend are both underrated!

[Crowder]

Anyone who had $3500 to spend and would spend it on a Weber has not played a BRW yet http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif It's like night and day.

hmm....bet that isn't going to go over well w/the Weber crowd. That is a bit of a generalization isn't Crowder?

Come to think of it...for all you BRW fans(me included)if you love your BRW's you had better go play a Davis. Bill's mandos are a cross between a BRW w/a Collings w/a Nugget....yes they are that good.....and no i don't sell them.

[AeroJoe]

Weber Yellowstone, tone bars...I played one last nite against a very nice Randy Wood, and it blew the Wood out of the Water...

...a used but nice condition Flatiron, Carlson/Weber era Signature Series (before Gibson came calling)...the attention to detail in these is absolute /finesse/, not to mention the sound...

...or perhaps (since I am happy with the mandos I own), buy $3,500 worth of MK's, put 'em in your vehicle and when you hit the festivals, walk around at nite after the last stage show and give them to those kids you see every year at the ones you attend, obviously trying their best to learn on whatever monstrosity their carwash/paper route money was able to find in a pawnshop somewhere. The fact that they are at a bluegrass festival and eating M&M's rather than banging their heads on a wall listening to Eminem, that'd be the best $3,500 you could spend...

[jasona]

I am happy with my Ratcliff A5, although if I had this mystical cash I might be tempted to put it down on a Kimble with Red Spruce top...

But considering I love my A5 I'd join the Sobel crew, or possibly an Old Wave oval hole.

[andaloucio]

I go on a week vacation to italy. Cheese, Red Wine, Fresh Sardines, fresh pastas....And get a nice $800 bug mandolin and come back home.

[mahlboogie]

Pomeroy or a Snieder. I've also had my Pomeroy for a short while and can't put it down.

[mahlboogie]

I mean Bob Schnieder in Washington. Pomeroy and Schnieder make extremely fine mandos in that price range. Bobs are cheaper.

[Keith Newell]

Bob Schneider is in Oregon. Portland area, he lives about 3 miles from me. Makes some nice F style mando's.
Keith Newell

[Keith Newell]

[mad dawg]

My "eye-candy of the moment": a BRW, with his white lacquer treatment with black binding, or perhaps a Holst with the traditional scroll, modern holes, with the yellow finish and contrasting fretboard insets (as on his web site).

[mandomiss]

With $3500 I think that I would take a week long vacation to, say, Santa Cruz? Then I would save the rest (for a couple of years) until I had enough to buy a San Juan.

It's all Washington above Bakersfield.

[A9cp]

Has anyone played a Silver Angel or Rattlesnake or a Deerstone F model .

[JDARTGOD]

Based on the one I recently saw/played (See general topics area)


SIM DALEY, SIM DALEY, SIM DALEY!!!!!!!!!

[jasona]

Has anyone played a Silver Angel or Rattlesnake or a Deerstone F model .
Sorta. Ken Ratcliff, maker of Silver Angel, is Laura Ratcliff's husband and mentor in lutherie. If his mandolins sound like hers (and I've no reason not to think this is the case) they would be nice sounding mandolins, woody tone, and good chop. If I've any complaint about this mando its that the G is weak above the 12th fret--but since I never play there its hardly a problem. At least, right now...

And that said, the new Steve Smith bridge I had installed has improved the strength of the G. These bridges are now standard (I have an early one).

[little jimmy]

With regard to the Summit mandolin and it being under rated or over rated, I would like to throw my 2 cents worth in. Indeed Summit did build a Jesse McReynolds model which has all the features you would get in a Weber or Gibson Fern model, i.e. the best materials available and plenty of inlay in the headstock and fretboard. It also carried about the same price (approx. double the $3,500 budget). The only other feature of note that makes the McReynolds model different from the Gibson or Webber is the string spacing is greater than normal to accomodate Jesse's single string pickin' when called for. There were only two made. Serial #1 is owned by Jesse and serial #2 is mine. It is a great mando and a work of art to boot. Paul Schneider is a great luthier. It has a great bark to it and the color and finish make it look like a vintage varnished mando. I can compare this mando favorably to my other two mandos that are no slouches either. I have a Collings MT-2R and a Rigel A+Deluxe. The Collings is impeccable and every bit as loud as my Summit. The Rigel is a joy to play and being that it has a pickup it is the road axe. I hear the standard Summit 200 model has a lot of the same great qualities that my Jesse model has. If that is the case then it would be a great buy for $3,500. In fact, if I remember correctly I saw that model available for closer to $3,000 last year. Good luck.

Since it is oft stated that I am a total Brentrup 'ho -- y'all pretty much know my suggestion in advance ($3,500 is a fabulous down on one of these thangs...)Spend the extra and get something amazing.

aka: The Weberphile
I think anyone who is attracted to Webers would instantly love Ben's mandolins. They have the same nice looks and attention to detail and the necks are similar. But, having owned both a Montana Festival F and a $4500 Weber-built "The Loar" model, I can say that there is no comparison in terms of tone and projection. The Webers I've played (yes, all of 'em) just don't throw the notes out there the way Ben's mandolins do.

[Greg H.]

A9cp,

I used to have a Dearstone D1A and I now play Rattlesnake F5. Both are great mandolins in the own ways, but the Rattlesnake is my clear favorite. It's got great tone all the way up the fretboard and can definitely be heard no matter what kind of jam session you're in. I know of three of four other Rattlesnake owners who are equally pleased with their choice. I've played some mandolins I liked better, but they were all $10,000-15,000 more expensive (and consequently way outside of my instrument budget).

[Kevin Briggs]

I'd go with the Weber Bighorn model. I'd try the Cedar top, and since I have tone bars and Maple on a Bitteroot, I'd go with the X-bracing. I bet the Cedar top and X-bracing would make a pretty good combination. Traditional Brekke of course.

[flairbzzt]

One of Keith Newell's F5's. #Or a Collings MF.

[Ed Lutz]

I would buy a Newell "A" model and if there was any thing left I would a good pair of Compton's brand of overalls and modify a "The ____ cap".:D

[Ed Lutz]

duhhh...I forgot the "buy" in my last.:p

[ronlane3]

I would have John Gaithright build me a custom F-5.

[A9cp]

Well is down between these two. Silver Angel cutom F5 or a Buddy Davis F5.

[steve in tampa]

I purchased a used Weber Fern in that price range from the MC classifieds, and am very happy with it. Had a Weber Bitterroot custom built for a little more.

Nice to have 2 instruments that feel the same neck wise, but have different tonal properties.

Steve,

How does the Weber Fern differ tonallY from the Custome Bitteroot?

[steve in tampa]

RBP,

The Fern is maple/spruce, and the Bitterroot is mahagony/cedar.

[Kevin Briggs]

I see. Do you think there would be much difference between a Maple/Spurce Bitteroot vs. the same with Fern?

[Dano Reible]

Well what I did and in the process of doing is having a custom Silver Angel built to my every thought and vision of my perfect mandolin.
Ken has been wonderful putting up with my never ending questions and ideas and I have to say it is comming along wonderfuly.

[steve in tampa]

RBP,

To the best of my knowledge the difference between the maple BItterroot and the Fern is in the cosmetic upgrades in the wood, bindngs, and hardware, and the tradtional Brekke bridge. I have not played a maple Bitterroot, but I have played a Yellowstone. The maple and mahogany are different sounding with spruce tos. My mahogany Bitterroot has a cedar top which gives it a warmer sound.

[Crowder]

I have owned a Weber Fern, a Flatiron Festival F, a BRW, a Collings MT-2 and now a blackface Collings MF. The Collings MF is the best for me so far in terms of tone and playability. It's shocking what these go for in the secondary market. A used MF or MT is a remarkable value.

If you had $3500 to spend for a mando what would you buy. #Now you have to spend it and not just buy a $500.00 mando and pocket the rest. PS, the wife ok'd the purchase. What a women.
So what would you buy ?
I already did. Bought me a Phoenix custom Deluxe, for a small amount more that the $3,500 budget. Gorgeous instrument, gorgeous sound.
