I play mostly old time and Celtic music. Not much bluegrass. My current mandolin is a Lafferty A model with oval sound hole by Paul Schneider of Summit. I have examined three Cross mandos and have one I'm interested in. Bird's eye maple and nice Sitka top, honey burst finish. I like this mando. Good workmanship, nice recurve, sharp lines. The tone is nice; certainly different than the decidedly old time sounding Lafferty. The Cross is sweet,
with good definition. The Cross seems a little heavy, with a top that looks a little a little thick.
What do you familiar with Cross Mandolins think?
