    Default have the fever for an octave-oval hole(D hole) weber, A style

    finding myself headed towards these lately, this video of sierra hull really stuck it in my mind, and the one of Joel confirmed it, along with this awesome Gibson that Dennis demos.

    I'm thinking alone the lines of a 20" scale A style bridger. That would be so neat-I am drawn to the oval or D hole sounds.

    Anyone know where a good used specimen might be languishing unloved in a shop or someones home?

    NFI, and I don't know the current availability, but Tom "Tee Jay" Jessen builds some of the finest OM's you've never heard. And it'll set you back a lot less than even a used Weber.

    Wow the Webers sound much better than the Gibby.

    Hello Daryl,

    Just have to say, I love my short-scale Weber A-style d-hole OM. It gets more play time these days than my two mandolins combined. If you've got the urge for one, I say 'go for it'!
