NMD - Sawchyn Beavertail
Wow! Today I received my new Sawchyn Beavertail straight from Peter. What a great little mando. Just like other reports on the forum - it is beautiful, fit and finish are outstanding, the thing is loud, rings clear and like a bell, and plays super easily. It comes in a nice soft sided case with an embroidered Sawchyn Beavertail logo.
I have a Weber Madison (special run of 14 mandos made in Montana right before the move to Oregon), a Northfield F5s, and a Girouard OM, and I wanted a pancake to compliment the mix. After reading many reviews of various pancake alternatives, I decided the Beavertail was the one I wanted. I searched many month for a used one to no avail (I can see why there are very few used on the market), so I decided to get a new one. Peter was just finishing up a batch of 4 and I managed to snag one.
This thing surpasses my expectations. I think it is one of the best mandolin values on the market. I highly recommend it.
