Re: Do you take your best or most valuable mandolin to gigs?
Yes I do. In fact if I will be playing on stage (an actual show) I will bring a backup instrument. Much easier to grab the backup in the event of a string break. Trying to change a string in the middle of a set is a sure way to lose an audience.
And when not being played they are ALWAYS in a case.
Ratliff R5 2007, Capek A5 2003, Washburn M5S-SB Jethro Burns 1982, Mid-Mo M-2, Epiphone MM 30 Bk mandolins, Harmony Batwing 1970's, George Bauer bowlback early 1900's Philadelphia.
