I bought a Butterfly model ten years ago.
I was lucky and sold it quick for a few dollars more than it cost me. The fret board was cut wrong and never played correctly.
I try to guide players away...
What I find funny is that top of the line and Loar mandolins is used in the same sentence.
You might be able to read the label with other lighting. I would try black light first, move to a red lens, blue lens. Faded ink can appear readable under the right light at times.
I would enjoy my Martin if it did have a oval hole. My wife has her packpacker guitar and it has a oval hole.
I have always been interested in a King Brown
If you watch the classifieds here some nice used Eastmans come up real reasonable.
Reminds me of posts where someone would claim their Michael Kelly was as good as a Loyd Loar signed Gibson.
Some people can only play so well. Others know how to push a mandolin and get the sound it...
Please do not feel as any question is silly or not important.

Steve Martin got his start at Knott's Berry Farm in the melodramas at the Birdcage theatre. My friend Dean has his old fitting room. Steve has visited him a few times at the park.
Do not forget the used market. I have bought many used mandolins at half the price thru the classifieds here. I bought a brown Eastman 804d Two Point for $600 here, sold it a few years later for the...
Sounds like a title to a new song, or should I say a old song. :mandosmiley:
My wife is working the spot light on America tonight, I tried to get in the sound booth, but no go. She at least is getting my old LP autographed thou.
I would look at King Brown or Peter Mix New Mad
I did love my Gibson F9 and A9, they are in your price range.
I had a buyer insist on trading me his Kentucky for my Flatiron Festival F5, he even wanted me to toss in some cash. Did not want to understand I wanted cash and no trades.
The nut and bridge can be changed out later at any time. I say build it and learn.
My favorite way to tune a banjo is with wire cutters.
Here is my friends site for banjo help. Banjo help
Also called the Florida peninsula. I watched Chris Thile play the full fret board one night.
I am in Bellflower 90706.
Moving to Columbia, CA 95310 in a few months

I had always understood the quick difference between a F2 and F4 was the F4 having a truss rod.
You can always sent off and buy a few endpins as each will fit differently. The superglue works well as long as you let it dry first.
