    Wow, I bet it is a beautiful instrument, but I'm sure I couldn't afford it...so I guess I'll stay a part time six string player.

    I’m also curious about your mandolin journey. You were desperately seeking a certain Stiver, and now your selling one in the classifieds. Is the Campanella just the flavor of the week?

    I’m sure Skip makes a nice mandolin, but if Dem has his heart set on a Campanella mandolin, then that’s what he should get.
    I agree totally, but Dem has put his MAS on full display for us, and he’s getting twitchy, lol!

    Good luck, Dem, hope you find exactly what you’re looking for!
