I bought a Loar LM-500-VS yesterday. I tried all the mandolins in the shop and this one sounded the best to me without being over-the-top as far as fanciness. Seems like a really nice mandolin. It's really pretty and the sound is definitely better than my Flinthill $100 mandolin. I'm really happy. Does anybody else have one of these? Do you love it?
The end pin falls out really easily. I live in a dry climate so I doubt it will ever fit in snugly. I hope I can put some tape on that to keep it in, but will it be safe enough after that to put my strap on the mandolin? I like to stand sometimes when I play at the jam.
