This video shows three of my mandolins: a 2008 Will Kimble A5, a 2023 Paul Duff F5, and a 1982 John Monteleone Grand Artist. The video discusses their features and then provides brief sound comparisons. Nothing here was done with lab or studio grade fidelity. Same camera and condenser microphone pair was used on all. Distance to mic may have varied. Pic remained the same (an Apollo John Reischman pick).

Amazing set of mandolins. I thought the Monteleone had the best overall sound.
