Pava Player Oval

[dan in va]

What a sight to behold. If'n it had a July 9, 1923 Loar shaped neck and side position markers only, the piggy bank would be fearing for its life and i would be in danger of owning 3 mandolins again.

Has anybody played one of these yet? Maybe it's better that i not know....

Perhaps if you included a link to said mandolin we would know what you are talking about........

Nice looking mandolin.

I just wish OP's would include links.

Yes, this it. Looks better every time i cast an eye on it. i wonder how the e string sounds.
Thanks, CE.

I played a couple Pava ovals when I was at the Ellis shop. They are everything I'd want in an oval hole mandolin. I'd bet they could do your neck shape if you talked to them.

Thanks very much for posting, Don. i wonder if they are on the tubby side and lacking in the treble dep't. i would like an oval to have good volume and balance, but with its own sound. PM sent.

Yeah but Don, we’ve established that you don’t want an oval hole mandolin!

A guy can change his mind.

MAS is a helluva drug.

I really want an Oval A myself... probably going to get an SA if I ever get the money saved up!

Played a suweet Collings at Maple Street Guitars in Atlanta a couple weeks back.
