    Re: Upgrade Fever

    The KM-950 is indeed an excellent instrument and the price would allow purchase of a tone-guard, arm rest, and a BlueChip should you choose per the good recommendation listed above.

    Re: NMD Kentucky KM 950 Master Model

    They are excellent mandolins! I had one for several years and absolutely loved it. You're right that they have an incredible fit and finish. Enjoy!

  7. Re: Which Mandolin fits/compares to your Ability ??

    On the weighted bell curve of mandolins, I'd say the peak is near the $5k mark... Because at the far ends are basically a $350 starter and a $22,500 Gilchrist, and you could basically eliminate the...

    Re: Collings

    Collings produces some of the best mandolins out there, and I say without hesitation they set the bar for consistency. Their fit and finish is second to none. Tone is subjective, you may or not like...

    Collings/Gibson; just one more!
    Will it ever end?

    I want that Ellis!
    You say it plays like butter?

    Dem,

    I'm starting to think you and the Gil are meant to be together.

    Re: Where to Buy/Test Drive Mandolins?

    Cotten Music and Carter Vintage in Nashville.

    I've bought two mandolins over the years from Cotten, (as well as The Mandolin Store in AZ- but I've never been to TMS.)

    Have a great trip!

    Summit mandolins are total beasts. I really like the ones I've played. Very open and powerful.

    If in some bizarre twist I happened upon a Loar, I'm in the sell camp too. Assuming I got $175k from it's sale, I'd buy about $40k worth of mandolins on the used market. Probably a Heiden, and maybe...
