I love the adds, bought new in 03 and gigged in an active Bluegrass band. No closet queen, but played in. That is right down my alley, but still pushing $5000. It's just how it is.

The name of the product/company is escaping me right now but there is a product you can get that attaches to the top of a guitar (I am sure it would work on mandolin as well) and basically makes it vibrate in order to open it up quicker. I also believe it was Jason Isbell who once said that when he gets a new acoustic, he blasts the speakers in his room and leaves the guitar out on a stand to open it up. It will take some time to get this mandolin to where I want it, but I am sure it will be worth it.
