So...I'm on the verge of upgading from my rover rm-75 and have been stalking the classifieds and looking at some local shops. I went into San Diego Old Time Music (great people and very helpful) and played several mandolins including some vintage gibson oval holes, a few eastmans and even a collings. Finally I pulled a red line traveller off the wall and gave it a shot. Wow...I was amazed by the sweet tone of this "travel" mandolin and at a price that was much less than my other choices.
I then made the mistake of going to the Red Line web site and seeing all the choices they have! They have some really beautiful instruments at amazing prices!
Have any of you had the experience of planning to buy one mando and then suddenly you find one (even a much less expensive one) that just feels right? Also...anyone that has a red line feel free to chime in.
