Just a fun game I like to play. Start off by asking us to choose between 2 different mandolins or makers etc., respond and wait for others to answer. Feel free to add more "would you rathers".
Would you rather have a:
Dudenbostel or Gilchrist?
(hopefully they're comparable to most)
I must choose Dudenbostel. If only so I can say "Dude" more.

Let's go to the electric side a moment...
'68 Fender Mandocaster or Kevin Schwab?
Sean Greer
Jan-24-2009, 2:40pm
While I haven't played either, I've been lusting after a Red Diamond and therefore would have to choose it over the Ellis.
How about Duff or Ellis?
Chris Biorkman

If I were in the market for a $30,000 mandolin, I'd play them all and buy the one I like best, regardless of the name on it. Might even be a Gibson.;):)

Here's (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310117008665) a relatively restrained and sedate one. The consensus scoop on these is that they're made in Vietnam and sold through Taiwan. If you'd like to peruse several threads filled with contradictions, acrimonious discussion, and otherwise civilized Cafe members calling each other poopy-heads, you can search on "antoniotsai" or "inlaidartist."
