    Well, I'm trying to win one LOL!!! I only have experience with a Weber oval hole, it is one of my "forever" mandolins (it will not get sold till I die.) I'm sure others will weigh in soon.

    I can tell you that I have a Weber Yellowstone distressed and it's a really great sounding and playing mandolin. I have a couple other really high end Fs, but I still love to play the Yellowstone...

    I have had my Yellowstone since 2010 and before that I had a Vintage A and a Gallatin. All are great instruments, but the Yellowstone is a life time keeper. I have on order one of his new two points.

    Very nice mandolin!

    One of my Weber Mandolins is a 2009 Custom Yellowstone F with a cedar top. It was manufactured in Logan, Montana when Bruce Weber’s company name was Sound To Earth.

    I personally feel that the Bruce Weber signed Yellowstone mandolins are very nice instruments with a rich Weber voice. I really don’t have any experience with the Yellowstone models built in Bend, OR by TOH. However, I do have a 2014 Weber Bitterroot F that was built in Bend, and it is an excellent instrument.

    Here are the specs and MSRP for a standard Yellowstone in 2008. You can determine the year of manufacture of your Yellowstone by looking at the serial number on the inside label; the first two numbers should indicate the year, the last two numbers will be the month.

    Weber Yellowstone Mandolin

    Bracing: Tone Bars
    Back: Curly Maple
    Rim: Curly Maple
    Neck: Curly Maple

    Peghead Inlay: MOP Logo & Knot
    Fingerboard: .080 Ivoroid Bound Ebony
    Scale length: 14 inches mandolin Radius
    *17 inches mandola
    *radiused 22 inches octave mandolin
    *24 3/4 inches mandocello
    Fret Markers: MOP Diamonds
    Frets: .080
    Nut Width: 1 1/8"
    Body Binding: Top & Back
    Binding Color: .080 Ivory
    Body Color: Traditional Yellowstone Burst
    Finish: Gloss Lacquer
    Hardware: Nickel
