Is that your Silver Angel mando fallen over ?
How does it compare to the Eastmans ?
I've seen your pics of your new mando and I'm planning on getting one almost exactly like your econo A style Silver Angel.

Beautiful stuff. Is that two pointer a 905? So pretty. I have had a hankerin for a assymetrical two pointer. I think I would go for the 904 though, cause I am an oval hole kind of guy.

The Eastman 2 Pointer is an 805. It has some bark.
And yes, the mando on it's side is the Ken Ratcliff Economando. Mine is European spruce over maple. It has the deepest (bass) tone of all of them. The Eastmans are much brighter.
The Pomeroy flattop has an interesting voice. It too is on the "deep" side, and the rosewood gives the overtones a lush effect.
