Hi,
So after I've been playing for quite a while now I figured out one way to make it easier to get better would be to buy a better mandolin.
Now originally I wanted to make this one in a lifetime buy, because I made my Bachelor and got a quite nice job, however study loans that I have to pay back made this a little bit impossible for me right now! So this has to wait till end of this year
Anyway what I could afford was this nice instrument and since I found one thread on the forum here where people said the KM-505 is worth its money and quite a couple of people on youtube said so too (besides showcasing the nice sound) I ordered it (I can't buy mandolins at local music stores, I tried and they either only had bowl backs which I find very difficult to play or they didnt have mandolins at all!).
So anyway here some nice pics (sadly I cant provide a record yet but oh well once I get a bit better I might change that too!)
Nice back!:
Next to my old one:
So what can I say about the mandolin so far. It feels like I invested my money into a quite good instrument, the plabyability is just awesome, also the sound has quite a nice sustain and volume. I cant complain about the tone I get from these F-Holes, it just sounds right.
The fretboard is also nicely set and it is a charme to play on it. I had to get used to the neck being a tiny bit longer (or so it feels at least), but all in all I dont think I did a mistake here.
Greets,
Roin
