don't mind me, I'm just out hunting.

I'll try and do a bit more of an effort post with some videos/recordings of my amateur self, but I play tenor banjo and just recently picked up an mandolin, and enjoy traditional music (also play whistle - the gateway drug of Irish tunes).

I tried a 5 string banjo a while back but found that scruggs-style fingerpicking just wasn't my thing. I may get one again and see about learning clawhammer, but that's a lot later down the line.

I'm looking to upgrade myself (probably gonna stick myself with a £40/m financing deal or some poo poo) and I'm looking at a nice Eastman F style, which for the price range seems to have about as good a quality level as your way pricier ones. Unless I can find the time to go exploring with some of the luthiers in Shetland. I want a loud, sharp, cutting, F style, and unless someone can make that specifically for me I'll probably go for Eastman.

It’s not an F but I’ve got an Eastman 505 and I absolutely love it. I played a lot of similarly priced Kentucky mandos and it beat them all out on sound. If I want something that sounds noticeably better I will have to go with the much nicer ones, a Collings or Weber or that price range.
