I couldn't be happier with the mandolin I purchased from a delightful cafe member here who heard me whining about needing a louder mandolin. ( Thank you, John) Her name is Brenda Lee Gibby, 'cause she's little, not flashy, but has a big voice. Her original tuners keep her in tune and the intonation is spot, I mean spot ... on.
Don't post much lately because I'm too busy practicing. She's irresistible and beckons me to learn yet another tune or practice technique and scales.
Got her right before I went into the hospital (a first) and couldn't play her for the first 2.5 weeks after she arrived. My reward for getting well quickly was to be able to play her.
I took her to my Irish session class (I'm the only mandolin player), and even the fiddle, box and whistle players took note and asked me to introduce her.
