    Shaun. The great old mandolin players did not even come close to what the players like Adam Steffey or Sierra Hull can do today. I'm not knocking them. It is just a fact. Players have evolved . ...

    Re: Pros That Don't Play High End Instruments

    Some players are probably a bit miffed at this post. To many folks on this site (probably most) $5000 to $1000 is a ton of money to spend on an instrument. To many more, they own a high end dream...
