    Default The ideal Big Muddy for Classical?

    Anyone have any input on the best Big Muddy for playing baroque/classical? Jonas on youtube gets a sweet sound out of his M-0 but I wanted to hear your opinions

    Each of the wood choices has it's own unique qualities. They'll all play classical, old time or rock and roll. My only experience is the difference between the mahogany M-0 and the walnut MW-0W. The mahogany is a little brighter, but the walnut is my go-to mandolin. I've heard really good things about the rosewood, I believe that's Mike Dulak's personal favorite and there may be one in my future. I've played a M-11 (mahogany top, sides and back) that I really enjoyed the sound of... Pick your favorite wood and enjoy it. IMO, it just don't get no better.

    I play Bach on my M4, which is wonderful, of course, but they would certainly all do the job nicely.
