That mandolin looks like one I tried out at Greg Boyd's shop about 30 years ago. I was in the market for a Givens and tried out everything I could find from him. The ODE- Monroe sounded okay (not...
Greg:
I have a dozen or more YouTube videos where I play solo mandolin on a variety of blues standards. Enter my name in YouTube - Sam Lyman - and the videos will magically appear :). There is...
Great jamming with Mandobart and others in Pasco this weekend! There were not that many people at Sacajawea but that did not stop us from having a great time.
I think deciding between instruments all comes down to what you are looking for.
Based on your original post I think it is safe to conclude you want an F style mandolin. If you want bling then go...
Thanks!
My MAS obsession ended when I got that 2005 MT2V... a very sweet mandolin that never gets in my way and always makes me sound better than I really am (sort of like a good wife).
By way of street-cred, I am a veteran of many, many Dead shows and have a personal library of over 1,000 shows. If you want a super-good version of Big River listen to 8/13/1975 from The Great...
May the 4 winds blow you safely home David!
I have been using them for years and will continue to use them because they sound good and last a long time. I have them on my 2005 Collings MT2V and 2013 Kentucky KM-500. They are not sexy, or new...
And one more... the classic St. James Infirmary

I have had luck finding the right sized boxes at the local band instrument store. I have scored boxes that were used to ship saxophones, trumpets, trombones, violas and various types of drums.
As...
I hope you love the Kelley and that it is everything you want and need from an instrument!
A couple of cardinal rules to consider here:
1) People generally advocate on behalf of the mandolins they own or want to own when responding to such requests for feedback.
2) No two mandolins...
I have seen many but sadly never heard one that sounded like it deserved the name on the headstock. To quote Forrest Gump, "sometimes people (Gibson in this case) do things that just don't make no...
I will buy it if we can agree on a price if it needs no setup work. Let me know.
Looking for a gift for my wife for our anniversary.

I generally recommend the Kentucky but it looks like you found something you like so congrats! When my Collings mandolin stays home I play a Kentucky KM-500. It has beautiful woods and sounds...
Happy birthday Dennis. Best wishes for health and happiness.
Instrumental played on a 2005 Collings MT2V
Oops... uploaded the wrong song file. Tried to upload me playing Happy Birthday and...
My main mandolin for the last 5 years has been a 2005 MT2V. It is simply amazing. I have owned Gibsons, Givens, a Heiden, Flatirons, a Steve Andersen, and many others in my decades of picking. I...
No, your Colorado Case Cover for the old Calton case will not fit a new one... I found that out:).
Count me in as interested! This mando would be a nice complement to the sound of my 2005 Collings MT2V.
I played Steve's Kentucky KM 956 that is in the classifieds over the weekend in Spokane at a jam and it is a fine mandolin. I think a person could get a lot out of mileage out of this instrument and...
