Re: A mandolin/violin relative price story
So true I’m not a violinist, but my wife is and I know the cost of maintaining the things are more than all of my instruments combined. I don’t see mandolins as expensive any more when a new mando sell between 4K to 12k and on the used market for half the price they are new. Just imagine if mandolins were valued the same way violins are, and realize (as I have just recently) that we’re living in a great time for musicians there’s good instruments being made in every price range for all kinds and styles of music. What a time to be alive and playing mandolin
Hardwick Bluetone banjo, old Washburn b16 with an rb250 tone ring
Custom Martin D28, and D45
Tyler White #12, Eastman MD 815cs, Austin AU657 beater mandolin
Several violins, eletric guitars, piano, Suzuki bluesmaster harmonica set, and my Dads old trombone from high school.
