Re: hand carving vs machine carving
Makers who use more CNC for example Rigel and Collings. I wouldn't characterize their mandolins as slouches in the tone department. It ultimately depends on the skill of the builder. I would take a CNC made instrument from those mentioned vs one hand carved by me.
We didn't even discuss the carbon fiber Mix mandolin that is laid out! Those sound pretty good too.
Good is good!
