Oval hole mando comparable to a Kentucky KM-505?
I’m very happy with my Ratliff Country Boy F-style mandolin but I want to get an oval hole A-style for old time and Irish sessions. I’ve played the Kentucky KM-505 briefly and if it was available in an oval hole model I’d have one in a heartbeat. So, do any of you have suggestions for something akin to what an oval hole KM-505 would be? I’m considering a Northfield Calhoun and a Morris A-style but I’m enamored of carved tops for no defensible reason beyond, “I like ‘em!” My MAS needs sustenance!
A couple years in, now, and still learning!
Ratliff F-style Country Boy
Eastman MDO-305 Octave Mandolin
Kentucky KM-272
I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
