    Default Buckhorn Mandolins?

    I looking into one of these F style mando's, and was wondering If anyone owns one and what do you think of it.
    They look well built with a lot of thought gone into the design.

    I don't own a Buckeye but I have played one in a loud outdoor festival jam (banjo player, etc.) and it was rich and full sounding and yet cut through. I could hear myself well and one fellow remarked that I sounded even better on that mandolin than on my own mandolin. The neck was a bit skinny, even for my small hands, but playability was great. I would love to own one. I'm sure you will hear from some Buckeye owners soon.

    Buckhorn and Buckeye and Elkhorn are all different. The closest I got to any was watching Barry Mitterhoff play a Buckeye up close last summer. It sounded Barry good to me.

    I've played one but to tell you the truth if I could I would buy one as long as it was a good price.
    not saying that there not a good instrument!because they are
    but i think if im going to pay a big price i would buy a diffrent mandolin just saying.
    not every one likes the same thing.
    there's my input hope you find what your looking for.
    If you can play the mandolin. can you play the fiddle?
