I would like to get a mandolin that has a nice warm sound for playing Jazz and easy to play. Would an Engelmann top with Big Red Maple back and sides be the best choice of woods for a nice warm sound?
Also would you recommend getting an A model or a Two Point mandolin? I know the best advice is try before you buy, but in my case there are no mandolin stores around where I live and I always have to buy off the internet.
I have been looking at the following different mandolins listed below. However, are there others mandolins that you would recommend that I should be looking at?
Clark A5 or Two Point
Givens A5 or A6
Heiden A5
Kimble A5
Your recommendations are greatly appreciated. What I don't want to do is ending up buying a mandolin and realize afterwards I went in the wrong direction which happens so many times when we purchase instruments. With all the experience and knowledge on the Mandolin Café I was hoping for some good advice on to look for when buying a nice sounding Jazz mandolin.
Thanks
Darwin
