I went to Madison Music this afternoon to pick up a check and left with an MT Oval on order. It's already in production but I was able to specify honey amber finish with a gloss top. Alex says 4 to 6 weeks. I am excited!

I had the exact MT Oval you are talking about, Honey Amber and all. I sold it a while back in hopes of an MF Oval hole.

WELL, I have that Honey Amber MF now and it is very quickly taking over as my favorite Mando of the two I own. I thought the A style Oval was nice, and the F style is even better. Great throaty sound to it, and LOUD.

Let us know how the MT Oval is when she gets here.

I'll definitely post my impressions. My Mt2 and MF of course have Adirondack tops I'm really looking forward to the Englemann as a nice change. I'm also excited about the gloss top. My MF which dates from April 2004 has developed some shinny spots on the top. On one hand its a sign of a well played instrument but I wish it had the gloss top.

I think the honey amber mandolins look especially nice with the ebony button tuners.

Check out some photos online. It may not be that much of an upcharge.

I hope you really enjoy it!
