NMD Morris A5
I recently acquired a morris a5, and I have to say I am shocked by the quality of this mandolin. My A5 has a redwood top and curly maple back. She's loud as all heck and has such sustain that even my wife commented on it. The tone is more modern with sweet sounding bell like highs accompanied by a nice, clear thumpin' loud G string. The playability is outstanding. Due to some nerve damage in my arms, my hands tend to cramp up with prolonged play, but I can jam on this a5 with no pain whatsoever. It's easily one of the best playing mandolins I've ever had. Every day I play this thing I feel like I've robbed Sonny for the price he sells them at. If you are looking for an affordable American made instrument, look no further. You will not regret it!
I have a pava, and I think it might actually get dethroned as my daily player. THAT'S how much I like this morris.
