OK, so this is what I was thinking... I have some nice lefties, which I purchased when I was still working. Now I'm retired and I don't have means to follow my MAS--but wait, why not try to swap with other lefties. That way, I could keep on checking out the wonderful world of left handed mandolins and all it would cost would be the shipping. To be more specific: I have a Givens A, and a Schofield F, both of which I would consider to be quality lefties, which I'm interested in trading for equal valued left handed mandolins. So, what you got? This could be fun. peace, Rick
