In looking at various mandolins, I have noticed that my Eastman 615 is about 2" deep and in looking at Gibsons and other mandolins, they look deeper. Is that really the case? If so, what effect do you think a shallower or deeper construction has on the sound. Violins are; of course, quite different, but they seem to have a much more standard depth. I appreciate your comments and look forward to the collective wisdom I always find here.
BTW, my 615 is well beyond what I expected both in beauty and sound.
