Hey Y'all. I just started playing the mandolin and bought a J. Bovier A5-S. It's a beauty. Kyle at The Mandolin Shop was a great guy to deal with. I do have a question though. The end pin. Is it plastic, and does it come out? It feels like plastic, and it's really in there. Anyway, love the group. cajunboy2k (Chris)
Hey Chris, I also just bought an A5 Special from Kyle. I got the one with the black face. Couldn't be happier. Kyle was such a pleasure to deal with and a wealth of information. BTW the pin end is ebony. Good luck and enjoy.
I just ordered a J Bovier A5 Special that Kyle is setting up as we speak. I am thrilled about playing it soon. I got the sunburst version. The black is very pretty too; it was hard to choose. How are you both enjoying yours these days?
