One of my favorite mandos is the Gil that David Long has. It is built of red spruce and sugar maple with X-bracing. Steve Gilchrist usually save the red spruce for his tone bar mandos, but this one was an experiment. I hear in it that hard-edged red spruce side but with the percussiveness of the X braces. It really doesn't sound like any of the other Gil F5's. If David could just keep the curls glued on it...Ha!
Of course, I recall having the same affliction earlier in the year.
