I am blessed to have two outstanding instruments from two different approaches, F5 and F4. They just seen to approach music from a different perspective. When playing grass, the Ellis is about as good as it gets. You can play acceptable grass with an F4, but just is not optimal. When in a grass mode, the Hester gets a back seat. People listening will tell me how much better the Ellis sounds. I will begin to believe is not of the same quality. Then, I play a little folk fiddle tunes with the Hester, and any doubts about that beauty evaporate. I am blessed to have two truly superior instruments that are life time keepers.
