introduction

[hendrix2]

Hi,
this is my first post here. And I will introduce my self first (followed by a pic op my mandolin).
I'm kenneth, 20 years old and I live in belgium. (I hope my english isn't to bad, but I would appreciate it if you guys correct my language.)
I play the guitar for about 12 years now, and last year my girlfriend bought me a mandolin as present. I fell in love with the instrument. So I learned myself how to play (of course the first song was losing my religion by REM). Today I bought my second mandolin, a fender FM63s (no pics yet), I know a lot of you don't really like the instrument, but it's just so beautiful and plays really well imo.
I hope I can learn some more about mandolins on this forum.
The picture below is my Stagg Mandolin, it sound great, but is hard to play. But it's a beautiful instrument.

Kenneth,
I'm a relative newbie to the Mandolin Cafe too, so you are not alone. At least you figured out how to attach a photo before I did....lol.
Nice lookin Mandolin there.....I'm due to buy a new one soon, but for now I'm playing a used one that works well. (KM 620B)
