   Hi Folks,   
   I am in the market for a mandolin and was wondering what to look for   
   when purchasing. I need one that can project fairly well as I will be   
   using it mostly for busking - also one that I would actually be able   
   to afford : )   
      
   I am a fairly new player and had to really cram to learn enough in   
   time do some recording for some work I was doiong but realized I had   
   fallen in love with the sound and now would like to do more serious   
   playing. I tried an Ovation and didn't really like it at all - also   
   rented and Epiphone and it had a nicer sound but still not as "woodsy"   
   as I was looking for.   
      
   Any recommendations as to what to consider in the selection would be   
   great.   
   Thanks
