I'm guessing you'll be upgrading, although I've never played one of the New York Pro mandolins. But, a lot of us started out by picking up a cheapie, and then moving on from there. Probably the first of many "upgrades." What kind of guitar/banjo (s) do you have? Welcome aboard,have fun, and if the NY mando isn't all that great, don't give up...but you probably already know that....

Welcome to the Family!!! I have played New York Pro's before...and its the standard start-out mando. My first mando was only 40$. Get ready for an upgrade and a full blown case of MAS.

These seem to be a good buy for about $100 without case.
If you love to play the mando you will not feel bad when you upgrade to a better intrument.
In general, instruments in the $100 price range do not have much resonance.
