Beautiful sounding mandolin after a good setup
I bought this mandolin for playing with a country-bluegrass band. It really sounds great: loud, bright and resonant. The pickup and tuner do their job perfectly. Mine needed a good setup when I received though, there was an annoying metallic tail to the sound of the A string. I brought it for a professional setup and had the truss rod and bridge height adjusted. I also changed the strings to a .10 gauge which feels much better to me.
