DESCRIPTION: Run upon this mandolin builder while i was in Nashville Tn at the SPBGMA awards. It was one of the best sounding mandolins that i saw while i was there. And i had about a 100 different ones in my hands trying them out. This Voight Mandolin stood out. Good tone, easy to play and extra loud. And not ober priced. Check him out danvoightmandolins.com
