I finally got around to making a video comparison of my two recent acquisitions - a 1921 Gibson F4 and an Eastman MD515v.
They sound wildly different to me. As a guitar/banjo player of 40+ years, mandolin playing is less than a year old for me, and living in an obscure country, these two mandolins are two of about four mandolins I've ever played in my life. All I know about them is I like them, and they sound completely different.
I don't need ANY comments about my novice mandolin chops, but would be interested to hear what y'all think about the sound of these two
Same strings - D'Addario XS Medium. Same pick.
Thanks,
Bazz.
