Re: Lost in my search of a mandolin for classical music
what a great read! I'd offer to bring my Cohen to Duram on our next visit to Chapel Hill! So many mandolins to like in playing classical music!
I'm drawn to the work of Ekaterina Skliar who does her mandolin work on a Gibson A9! I'm also mindful that the F5 was invented to be used in classical music. (As was the L&H). So, in my mind, it's not the f-holes alone?
Love the T-I strings though. I use the "Heavy" set on my oval-hole Gibson and my Cohen. Even those are lighter that -74's.
Enjoy making Classical music in North Carolina! Hopefully, you've already learnt the old-time melodies!
