Re: Weber Sweet Pea...Is it the Best Choice for a "Travelling" Ma
I had one and enjoyed it for what it was, a small mandolin with a full scale. It has a very cool tailpiece like Lee said (his extreme conditions were Antarctica with 1% RH and cold). Mine never had any issues. I got mine used for $200 and sold it for the same. When I travelled, I took a full sized mandolin. Unless you really are space constrained, a full size mandolin would be better if you intend on playing with others. The body size is small so there isn't lots of bass, but the sound is good enough considering. If you like the Weber product, consider their Y2K flat top for a tad more and full sized. There's one in the classifieds now ($300), not mine.
If however, you really are space constrained, get one, the gig bag that comes with, as Lee stated, is not tough. If you're just going from your car to your work space it would do.
