    Smile NMD Gibson F-9

    I am happy that at the conclusion of selling some very nice instruments, I was able to find this beauty in the classifieds.

    I suspect that could be all the mandolin you will ever need.
    Now according to MAS theory it probably won't be the last mandolin you ever want.

    You got a great mandolin for sure. F-9s were made on the same bench as F-5Ls! Now you are part of the GGC! (Great Gibson Cult). Welcome!

    Thank you Mike, Bill, Bernie, Mark, and Darryl! I changed the strings to steel wound. I am not sure yet if I will stick with them, but it is worth the try. Any experience with the same? Dan
