Ive recently come across an amazing master model signed by Charlie Derrington.
It's a bit more than my budget can handle at this time.
I have heard that Derrington era signed mandolins are solid investments.
I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts on the value of "Derrington" signed mandolins?
Are these instruments in any sense on a trajectory for gaining in value based on who signed it?
Im contemplating breaking the budget for this instrument based on:
1.the fact that I really like this instrument and
2. it could be a good investment
I'd be trading away my Ellis F5 which I also like a lot, but looking at resale values, if what I hear about Derrington mandolins is true, it seems to make sense to trade the Ellis for the Derrington.
Any thoughts from those who follow the "mandolin market" closer then I are greatly appreciated. Thanks Joe
