Re: Trying to make a modest leap...
You could drive up the 5 to my hood and go to Dusty strings, but I think that's not waht you're talking about.
As a Kentucky 900 owner that upgraded to .080/.043 size frets, I would recommend talking to Mandolin store Phoenix or Folkmusician about 950's and 1050's used models (I think they would take it an instrument back if you decided the sound/playability wasn't for you but ask about that).
Kentucky km900
Yamaha piano, clarinet, violin; generic cello;
a pedal steel (highly recommended); banjo, dobro don't get played much cause i'm considerate ;}
Shopping/monitoring prices: vibraphone/marimbas, rhodes, synths, Yamaha brass and double reeds
