Re: Played a Morris? Incredible. My Review of a Morris A4

I like your mandolin, and I like the song you posted, but I have another option for you to consider. Since you like accompanying your singing with the mandolin why not have Mr. Morris make you a mandola instead of an F-shape mandolin?
I have been enjoying my new mandola greatly and found that it fits my voice range better than the mandolin does. And the people whom I play with at jams -mostly guitarists- say they like the mandola's range better than the mandolin's. That high E just doesn't sound that good as background and I found myself only playing 3-note chords on the GDA strings anyway. The mandola gives you 4 strings to form the chords on without resorting to the high E.
