Ellis and Dudenbostel mandolins: Hands-on impressions?

[pjlama]

If I was anywhere near Nashvegas I'd be screwed, you're a strong man Tony. I'm already screwed right now if I had an unlimited mandolin budget I'd buy a Loar, Gil, Dude, Monte GA, Nugget, Ellis, Duff, Weins, Duff, Giacomel, MM and Kimble all these could keep the Heiden, Collings and OW company. So far I've had a Gil, Duff, Ellis, MM, Nugget, Giacomel and would happily own them again. The problem is not finding a good one, it's keeping it. catch and release is fine for fishing but expensive and regretful for mandolins. I'm a regular cautionary tale when it comes to MAS. Moral of the story; don't be a MASshole like me

Nah man. You're just doing it really, really right.
