I love it! It plays and sounds great. It did develop a very fine finish crack on the top in the center where the two pieces of wood are mated, but it doesn't affect anything. The wood has not separated, just a finish crack that is hardly noticeable. It was probably my fault. I have it hanging on my wall and I don't pay any attention to the humidity level in my room. Would I buy another? Absolutely!
@@peterpulpitpounder That's a RAG. They are hand made in upstate New York by Roy A Gordon. He builds these F-style mandolins and sells them for $1500 with a hard shell case and a lifetime warranty. It's a beautiful instrument and it sounds much better in person. Check out his website. ragmandolins.com/home I'm going to try to do a review today of another one of my favorite mandolins that is at a $500 price point that few people know about.
Nice playing!
So, how do you like that Bentivoglio guitar you bought?

And I love the sound of that Mandolin. What name brand is that?
