Hi all. I am going to offer you a blind test of 6 different bowlback mandolins. I was having fun today playing them side by side and recording the results using Rode mini USB mic and Audacity with no added sound effects. I was playing the same one minute piece (my rendition of "Tango of Fire") in the same setting. Volume level has been adjusted on a final mix to be the same on all recordings.
I don't want to reveal right now which mandolins I played not to distract your attention. Please judge the tone only, not my humble playing skills Please leave the comments with the numbers of mandolins playing in order of your preference. I will write which one is which sometime on Monday. Have fun.
