    I'm looking for a store that has used non-wide Mid-Missouris in stock. If you know of any please post.

    Meanwhile, I found this Mid-Mo Mandola for cheap at Lark in the Morning. Wonder why so cheap?

    " Wonder why so cheap?"

    This may be the price for the case only.

    You know, that could be. It wasn't completely clear to me initially that it was the case only since there is no description, but that does make sense.

    I you find the string spacing on your M-11W too wide, you could also consider cutting a new nut for it rather than getting another instrument.

    True, I could do that, but the neck profile would still be the size it is. I am looking for the narrower neck, as I'm hoping to encourage my 7-year old daughter to learn the mando as well (she mentioned wanting to learn to play the banjo).

    Changing the nut slots can sometimes change the feel of the whole neck, so you may want to still consider that option.
