They are very cool things to look at, if nothing else!  Was it much more expensive than the Epiphone one?

there was a £800 mandolin in Guitar Guitar recently (can't remember the brand), but I had a bit of a play and it's been nagging away at me since.  

I can't imagine that I'm gonna be lumping amps, cabs, PAs etc.. around for much longer with my arthritis, so I figure I need to find a new angle.  Anyway, bluegrass is fun music to play and worlds away from what I usually play.  I know of two folk 'get-togethers' round here, so I'm gonna turn up and see if someone will take me under their wing (so to speak).

I don't wanna be anal about it, but this should be called NMD, not NGD.

So HNMD to you!!   :P

I always fancy something a little out of the ordinary. HNMD!

I hope some of the local "mandoliners" will take you under their wing.

I want an ukulele!

Nice :D

I've been wondering about mandolin myself, and banjo. At the moment banjo just sneaks ahead for me slightly.

my bass player had a banjo up until recently - he was pretty good on it too.

I've had a few bouzoukis and mandolas, wonderful things and easy to get competent enough on to play tunes really quickly. I could never get on with the tiny wee frets on mandolins, though.

expect some youtube videos of my first mandolin efforts in the coming week  :D

I've been told I need to learn Losing My Religion and Copperhead Road for my band, but the mid-section in Stonehenge will come before anything.
