I would love to hear from you that have/had this mandolin tone descriptions regarding this particular Collings. Thanks!

Wow, that tone (and playing!) is absolutely beautiful.

It's amazing how similar the tone from those two clips is. My MF sounds very similar. I have made a deal to sell it but I am starting to wonder if that is a smart move

Hey, Crowder, I know how you feel. Just went through the same thing with my MF (which I think you know) and I'm happy keeping it for now....

I've got to get on of these. I've played a lot of them, and they all sound great. Very hard to put down.

I played a blonde MF last week and was just blown away by how easy it played and how beauuuutiful it was. As an intermediate player, I haven't played many higher end mandos (would this be considered a high end mando?), but after playing it I made a decision to acquire an MT or MT2.

It was like butta...it has been on my mind like a good one night stand...
