“The F-holes are quite unusual.” For some reason when you just said that I experienced a sudden wave of deja vu and a brief flashback to speaking those very words myself some night I spent blackout drunk back in Thailand. Oh well, it’s probably nothing. Great video!
Great vid Josh! Wow, no bad sounds among that lot. Loved the Kelly on the fiddle tune. The Duff though wins hands down, I think. Blind test... 1. Kelly 2. Duff 3. Collings... ???
Duff all the way. The other two are a toss up to what you want in sound. The MK did surprise me on tone.
The Duff is astonishing. Love it on all levels.

Love the Duff, I think the Kelly was great sounding and the Collings last.
Duff sounded great, no surprise. However I was impressed with the Michael Kelly.🎵🎶🎸

my favorite was the new mandolin. i think the third one was the new one on the test.
