Well talked to Larry tonight and my mando should ship on Monday! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif I cant wait for it to get here. We had a family crisis and had to hold off on shipping it right away but now that things have settled down I should have it the first of the week. I will post some opinions on the sound at that time.

Wolfsong,

I happen to live right here in Memphis and I'm a fellow Muth owner. Perhaps I should go down there to Fed Ex, sign for, play it a little, make sure everything is ship shape. Just a thought.

MDW thanks for the offer. I would bet you could get it here faster than FEDEX. If its not here tommorrow I just might have to take you up on it. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Well, the mando has been stuck in a loop going back and forth between Charlotte and Memphis today. Due to problems and lableing screw ups on fedex end. Called the Vice President of the company and he finally got it held in Charlotte this afternoon. They are supposed to have a private courier drive it up here tomorrow. They also said they would refund our shipping costs (after we requested it). They've been making promises all week, maybe they'll keep this one. I think next time I'll just use UPS. Will keep everyone informed if it arrives tomorrow, if not will post another installment of the never-ending drama that my life has become. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Well believe it or not it finally made it to me. I was really worried as I opened the crate but when I got it out there wasen't a scrach on it. I have been playing it ever since and I could not be happier! The fit and finish are great. and the sound is more than I would have expected in a new mando. It is really loud with a nice dry chop and the intonation is perfect. I can't wait to see how it sounds in a year! Thanks for all the kind words everyone and for letting me rant a little. I think I will go play now! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Congrats Wolfsong. I have been following this thread detailing your ups and downs, and I really hope it was worth the wait. From the sounds of it, you got a good one. Happy playing!
