  1. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    My Heiden A5 is my favorite. A friend’s Nugget A5. Don’s Heiden is a beast. Compton’s Gilchrist F4. Berline’s Loar. A Gilchrist F5 Classical at Carter’s.

    We'll see how long KKR holds onto it. I imagine they'll be flipping the company in a few years. Such is life in the world of PE.....
