Re: The 'Perfect' Mandolin?
Analyze the difference between "perfect" and "favorite."
Plus, different tools for different jobs. I would say, overall, that the instrument that is the best suited to the particular uses to which I put it, is my Sobell mandola. But I only use it when I need that particular voice. The instrument I play the most is probably my lowly Strad-O-Lin, because I fearlessly drag it to every situation where I might possibly want a mandolin, and it's a good instrument. Not perfect, but then, who is?
