Adi top break in
I've been playing my Arches kit for about three months now. It was loud and bright from the get go, but now has developed a rounder tone over time. First noticed it on the D string, and now working its way into the G. The E and A continue to be bright. It's a nice cutting bluegrass machine. The few guys that are in bands who have played it have appreciated its ability to be heard.
Do Adi tops mature evenly over time, or does the change lesson. I've heard Adi tops take a year. Just wondering if after six months are they halfway there, or more like three quarters, or is there a randomness from top to top. Anyway, it's a rewarding experience to have the mandolin sound richer over time with no volume drop, just more of a good thing.
