I own a BRW F5. I started five years ago because after 40 + years of playing guitar, I was tired of being a one trick pony. My first mandolin was a piece of junk that wouldn't stay in tune....it was a lower end model.
I love newgrass, some bluegrass, acoustic jazz/swing.. Unfortunately, I am a much, much better guitar player than mando player.
Top two favorites are Mike Marshall and David Grisman. Both are very good, very melodic players. Chris Thile is up there too. For fun, you have to go with Sam Bush. After that, Flinner, J. Staats, M Cleveland..there are others if I thought harder about it.
