Just curious, but wondering about Arches mandolins. I've seen a couple that were beautiful pieces of woodcraft, and their price would suggest the maker knows his way around the sound end of a mandolin. But I almost never hear them mentioned on this site. Does their small production numbers keep them from general comparisons with, say, Webers or Collins or whatever? Are they far more than "another pretty face"? Is their sound governed by too many variables to make them comparable to some of the more mass-produced (but still handcrafted) instruments? I'd be curious to hear what folks think of their sound.http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/im...s/confused.gif
