After saying I agree totally with JEStanek about being present in your vacation, I do love my restrung uke (AKA my mandolele) for trips. It is inexpensive, fun, light and actually sounds pretty good.

Hey Belbein... what's the banjo fake book? My son is learning banjo...Thanks!

Another vote for Big Muddy... Lots of bang for the buck.

Well, it's done... I bought it! Thanks for all the info.

Oh man... a little moment of silence for your poor mando...

Thanks... I really appreciate you and mandolirious responding

Thanks for the input. Should I be concerned about the fact that it is tone bar braced? It, reportedly, has a good arch... a shade higher behind the bridge. I'm thinking that this mando is nearly...

I'm looking at an 85 flatiron a5-jr and am wondering about what I should expect to pay for it. It is Carlson signed with tone bars, chocolate finish and barely played... looks fresh out of the box. ...
