Tonight at band practice I asked Lawrence Smart to bring over his newly strung A5. I wanted to hear it in the same room as a few other instruments. It turned into a 10 mandolin tasting, and I thought I would share a few pics with you folks:
Left to right are: Lawrence Smart 10 string fanned fret, Clark 4 string walnut jazz mando, Lawrence Smart F5, Gilchrist A3, Bussman A5, Fletcher Brock blonde A5, Lawrence Smart A5, Arches F5, '85 Flatiron F5, unknown bowlback, just because it was there.
