Based on your comment, I thought perhaps you'd be interested in this thread:

I have owned an A5 from both Chris (#46) and Stefan (#54), either of which could be a lifetime instrument. And though the Stanley had been through the collections of far better pickers than I ever expect to be, like Don Julin and Don Grieser, I moved it in favor of the Passernig which simply fit my hands and ears better. In the old days, I would have and could have adapted.
As to the Passernig at Vintage Mandolin Headquarters, I'm glad that someone finally mentioned it. I'm not drawn to two-points generally, and I suspect that Stefan's modern iterations appeal to even fewer, but that instrument sounds awfully lively in Richie's hands. I seem to recall Marty Jacobson heaping praise on that mandolin in particular. I can well understand why.
