Maybe---- you should have posted questions before you bought?

Hope you enjoy the June. I don't know much about it either, and I seem to recall that he used to have an older website with more info. I was eyeing that one also since it was more or less local, but in the end it was out of my price range. Good luck and am looking forward to hearing how it plays when it arrives.

to take a flat board and convert it to a radius is likely somewhere north of $300.00. I don't do the work, don't even know how it's done, but several years ago I had it done and it was north of $200.00 then.

I'm not sure that for the typical mando-hobbiest it matters that much. I play mandolins with both and it just doesn't make that much of a difference to me.

f-d
