Here at Morgan Monroe we not only applaud but encourage the musician who is willing to experiment (Elvis, Bill Monroe, Beatles) with new instruments and sounds. Imagine how dull and boring music would be if it stood still! Testimonials: Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2004 02:19:15 -0800 (PST) Subject: Morgan Monroe M-OCT 1 Dear FOTW crew. Heya you guys... Thanks so much! I got a Morgan Monroe Celtic Octave Mandolin just about...4 months ago, I think, from you guys. ...in the 4 months I've had this baby, playing her 2-4 hours a day, she's opened up and is really becoming the nice, deep, rich-timbered instrument she was meant to be. I couldn't be happier with the tone. Replacing those straight steel A strings with wound as recommended was one of the biggest things I could do for it, and that also helped alot too. The extra $150 or so (I forget the exact amount) I paid over the Trinity College model has definitely paid off in quality. There's a very...almond...quality to the tone. Well anyways, just sayin' thanks. -Dave!	Click on image for magnified view:
