I think I mentioned it on the other thread, but check ebay and music stores for a used Flatiron flat-top model (Cadet, 1N, etc.). They don't look like much, but they're well made, they play well, and they have a bright, gutsy tone that most inexpensive mandos can't touch. I got my 1N (solid spruce and maple) several years ago for $300 used.
