Re: Tope and Capek mandolins
I've played one example of each, very briefly, and a very small example at that. Two different animals. The Tope was something you'd expect to hear on a high quality, good ol bluegrass album. But it had a beefy neck. The Capek was a more modern sound, something along the lines of a refined Breedlove and while I don't remember what its neck width was, I just remember my hand glided along that neck with ease. Both were first class in all respects though and if these are your choices, your in for a difficult decision for sure. Good luck.
