Sound

Dawg,Jazz, Celtic, some but very little bluegrass.
This is the loudest arch top mandolin I've ever heard.
Lots of bass very throaty, and glass shattering highs.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Came from the dealer with high action, but lowered the adjustable bridge and action is very close with minimal buzz. The truss rod is inactive and the neck is straight. If you want relief forget it. Very nice bookmatching on top and back. The finish is flawless. This is nicer than the $3,000 gibson f-9.
