Re: Makers getting Top Dollar
I can only imagine how much this beloved site has driven up the value of our wonderful pieces of art/tools of the trade.
I think the price distribution of high dollar to low dollar mandolins is pretty much accurate, and I think they are fairly priced up to a point.
I love going to Carter and blind testing some 6000$ mandolins and comparing to $10k-$20k mandolins...
I've played a $6000 A style that would compete easily with the highest dollar mandolins, and I don't jest, I bet in some blind tests my 2002 MT2 could easily beat out some $7000 mandolins.
A lot of them are great and I love them all.
I digress. I think this is a really cool list. I really do enjoy a lot of the aforementioned!
