Re: Michael Kelly producing mandolins again in 2023
I had a used MK-O that Sauvé Guitars in North Adams, MA set up. The neck and frets were in pretty rough shape when I brought it in. Once Steve did his work, the mandolin played amazing and sounded great. The bling was annoying, but it really had a nice, warm and woody, tone. Those sound boxes were pretty respectable, even if the fit and finish got erratic with production moves. Again, a set-up later and you were good to go. In a regrettable moment a decade ago I traded it for an OM. The F-4 thing never leaves you. I'm waiting to see/play/hear the Eastman 614's the local dealer has coming in any day now.
Axes: Eastman MD-515 & El Rey; Eastwood S Mandola
