    I tried a Weber Vintage oval a that was at IBMA with the old wood and set up by Rick. Great instrument. If I just had not bought an oval A, it would have gone home with me. Even new, it had great tone and played easily.

    Played one for about a week. Loved it! Not only did it sound and play very nice, it was one of the prettiest mandolins I've ever seen. I had it on trial and would have bought it without question had a "too good to turn down" deal on a 20's Gibson A not come along at the same time. I still plan on getting one. My only complaint was the frets. They had a higher profile than I like. But I've been told Weber will build any model with whatever frets you like.
