    Default Breedlove

    Someone let me try out their Breedlove mandolin this weekend. I think the model was a"Natural". Wider nut than I'm used to using. Not a fancy mandolin, no real "decorations" but it was an elegant and simple A style. I only had a few minutes to play it and I think it sounded wonderful.

    I love my premier OF, which apparently is now discontinued along with the rest of their USA-made mandos. Lovely sound, plays in tune and only needed a tiny intonation adjustment out of the case, nice action, and as a guitar player I like the slightly wider nut.

    Wow, I'm so disappointed they discontinued their USA made mandolins! I hope they keep making USA guitars. I just like knowing that my instruments are continuing an American tradition. I own a (USA made) Breedlove Premier KO. It has a really woody, deep tone and is ~ easy to play.
    No matter how well I play guitar, the audience always wants more mandolin.

    I have a couple of Breedloves (as you can see below). I've had 'em quite a while. I love both of them. Great sound, easy playability.
