Hi all,
I have an Eastman MD304 I bought with a K&K pickup. I play in an acoustic guitar duo, and there are a few simple songs where I started playing mandolin and adding to our sets. I like this Eastman, and I especially like it live.
I would like to "move up" in the mandolin world. I will never be a champion player, but I am really enjoying myself, and am a quick "by ear" learner. I like darker and mellow sounds versus "cut through" and "shrill". If there were a Martin D15 - like mandolin, I'd probably be all over it. By the way, I live in New Jersey.
Also, I just visited London for the first time and I actually played an old Gibson A mandolin and liked it a lot (a 1913 A-1)

What Mandolin(s) might you recommend to me, new or used? Id definitely like to stay under $2,000... or have a special reason to deviate from that budget. I like the idea of a Mandolin with history (like an old Gibson), and am not a collector, but would rather have an excellent cool-set-up player...
Thanks... Sal
