Re: The Loar vs. Breedlove
Having played several examples of each... I'd look instead at a Kentucky KM-150, or, if you can stretch the budget a bit higher, some of the other Kentucky models. The KM-150 is a very good mandolin, and hard to beat in that price bracket. I have a student who purchased one last year, and it continues to impress.
