Anyone have any experience with one of Andrew Mowry's oval-hole mandolins? I'm especially interested in descriptions of the sound of his F4 hybrids (an F5 neck and body but with an oval-hole instead of f-holes) Any info appreciated...

I just looked at his gallery and the blond F4 hybrid looks nice. I noticed his 2-point has the shorter neck to body join like early Gibson's. I would be curious as to it's sound as well. I'm awaiting receipt of a Poe F4 on approval. It has the traditoinal F4 neck.

Did you pick up the one from Carter Vintage?

Yes, I've been lusting after it for awhile.

Seems several builders are adding an oval hole to their line lately. I just tried out a beautiful black top Northfield F-4 ($2695) at Fiddlers Green that played very nicely.
