    Re: John Lennon - Mandolinist?!?

    John sadly passed at the age of 40. Who knows what instruments he would have used if he lived longer. He was into growing.

    Re: Eastman 515V vs Collings MT

    I had a 515v which was amazing. I player other 515v mandos that were not as good. As to the MT- they actually vary as well.

    Got my F. I asked for one a little on the dark side of tone - old growth sitka top - really, really nice. Beautiful workmanship! Wide nut - but yet a very fast neck!

    Wow - it is hacked. I picked up one of his A ovals. Amazing sounding. I have big fingers though and his scale is slightly shorter - so that is the only downside for me. But the sound of it - is...

    Re: buying first mando without playing?

    My first mando was a Martin that I bought in new condition for $250 - in 1978. Even though I got to play it, I did not know anything about how to play one, so it was all a risk. Some years ago, I...
