I think I'm interested in getting a bowlback so I'd have one so my other two flatbacks will know where they orignated from. I want a playable one. What do you look for aside from all the decoration? What is considered to be a good sounding bowlback mandolin? I have heard some old recordings and they always sound treblely or bright, but is that due to the recording technology at that time. I would like some serious replies so I can make an educated decision. I would rather have a very plain jane that sounds wonderful rather than a elaborate wall hanger. Thank you.
