Barnes And Mullins Mandolin - Abbott Model Flat Back Mandolins
This is another option I found in UK. It looks rather round but it has a solid spruce top, solid flamed maple sides and back and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge.
I found this on ebay as low as GBP 105.
Again I am a mandolin player at intermediate level, been playing on bowl backs for the past year and half and I looking to upgrade to a better mandolin.
Would appreciate all the advise

There are a couple of mentions in the archives. It sounds like a UK importer of Chinese instruments: http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/se...archid=4640310.

There is no thread about the Abbot which is just released last year. If any body had the chance to play with it or heard any reviews about it. I'll appreciate it
