Hi all!
Mandolin and tenor banjo player for decades, now looking for my first OM. My musical reasons include playing to back-up singer(s) including myself, and back-up/accompaniment for Celtic and Celtic-influenced fiddle tunes, and playing fiddle tunes as well when I don’t feel like playing the tenor in a loud jam. My thoughts are that a 20” length might be easier coming from Mandolin and my 20” Vega Fairbanks tenor. I am looking for opinions on Guitar body versus Mandolin body, favorite builders, and any tips on locating one (it is clear that they are few and far between these days). My budget can stretch to ‘several thousand’ dollars for the right instrument, and I would prefer to buy a US, Canada or UK built instrument but am open to positive opinions about Trinity College and similar. Thanks in advance!
