First of all, let me just preface this by pre-emptively apologizing if these types of new threads are super annoying. I am new to this forum (e.g. 20 minutes ago) and dont know if the etiquette here permits me to ask for advice about which mandolin to buy.
So here's my story: I am a mandolin newbie, looking to buy my first ever mandolin. Very excited!
Basically, I've been doing some research, and in my price range of approximately $700 USD, the same 4 mandolins keep coming up:
- Kentucky KM 150 (seems generally quite a bit cheaper than the other 3 but don't know why)
- Kentucky KM 500
- Kentucky KM 505 (not sure of the difference between the 500 and 505)
- Eastman MD 505
Which of these 4 mandolins would you folks recommend, and why?
And are there any others that you feel are glaringly obvious to consider, which have been left off my list?
Thanks!
