Re: Top Modern Mandolin Maker
Who I would pick would depend on my budget. For me, an F5 would be 4rth or 5th on my list of dream instruments to own.
There are many talented builders still alive. We also have some young folks coming up who will soon warrant being included on that summary list (if not already).
To Yankees1, enjoy your Eastman. It's a fine instrument and should suffice for a while. However, what we need and what we want aren't always the same. I know my wants far outshine my needs.
