Re: John Sullivan F
Caleb used to play an old Triggs F5 that had a partially sunken in top (a friend of mine bought it directly from Caleb). You could tell that the mandolin had been played hard. Caleb made it sound great, but my friend used to wrestle with that thing to get any kind of tone out of it.
I've said this before, I heard Charlie Rappaport playing a base-level Kentucky, trying instruments out for student in the store where he teaches in Pittsburgh. He made it sound like a million $$$$. He moved on to another low priced instrument. Same thing. The player brings a lot to the instrument.
