The Search Continues... Part 2

Ok what profile does it have?

[Demetrius]

Dangit! someone put it on hold! The Collings! I was just about to contact them about it...
Oh well, wasn't meant to be..

[Mandobar]

I gave you fair warning. You gotta react faster.

[Mark Seale]

Sounds new, but it's all there.

Last Fall they had a killer Italian Spruce and Birdseye MT2v. Phil Rosenthal (Seldom Scene) was in there playing it, and could barely put it down to go home.


There are two new Campanellas on the TME website.

[Mark Seale]

I'd hold out for varnish, but this one at least LOOKS killer at Elderly.

[Mandobar]

Read the disclaimer on the listing. That may not be the instrument you will get.

[Don Grieser]

Go to TME and get one of those Campanellas. Game over.

[CES]

Enjoying the view so far...2 new Campanellas popped up today...

[Nick Gellie]

Still does not beat the looks of the Collings MT2-V at Acoustic Music.

[pheffernan]

If a flawless build is the goal, and Engelmann a plus, then why not this (reduced price) Mowry?

[Mark Wilson]

I have never played one but it's got the look and the rep: (and they're collectors items? now!)
Red Diamond Vintage A5

To me that Campanella F is something I could get crazy with...
Hot dang its beautiful...

[pops1]

I like the due, being an A person, but I do agree the F is also a thing of beauty. I have always liked the look of his mandolins. Hopefully, someday, I will get to play one.

[William Smith]

Yeh them Campa's but the price ? ouch one reason I buy used!

[Mandobar]

The Campanellas won't last long. These are far and few between.

the one with the baked top?

I really wanted that, RIGHT NOW! But. . . reason prevailed. And, I have my favorites. But that MT2 is something!

f-d

[Demetrius]

Yeh there was something about that Collings eh?

[Demetrius]

The Campanellas won't last long. These are far and few between.

I really should for the sake of my marriage sell the two mandos I have before buying anything else...
Something must be telling me something. I picked up my phone and was gonna dial the emporium to discuss the Collings, so I went on the and as I was dialing I noticed it was on hold. Really lucky person whoever you are, that has something special about it...

[Demetrius]

I have to say though, this Gil had some sort of slight change from one night to the next day. It has definitely development a little susatain. It feels glorious this evening...
This was recorded on an iPhone, dry, and with no effects. It is very powerful mandolin therefore it's overdriving the phone recorder .



Thanks,
Dem

Maybe it takes a bit of readjustment to get used to the tone of the Gilchrist.

I must admit it does sound good. ....maybe hang onto it and get a good A model to replace the Givens.
