I'm so excited that I have to share it with the world: my first mandolin arrived at my home on Friday. It's a Mid-Missouri M-4 that I got from Bruce Snider through the Mandolin Cafe classifieds. Ordering from him was a fantastic experience, and the mandolin sounds and looks beautiful.
I've been wanting a mandolin for a while, and even borrowed one from a friend for a couple months last year. The time didn't seem right to invest in one, so I put it on hold for a while. My time spent on the Cafe soaking up everything I could about the instrument without actually having one increased lately, and my wife encouraged me to go ahead and get one. I did a lot of research, played as many different instruments as I could get my hands on locally, and then ordered through the classifieds. I couldn't be more pleased with the results.
I just wanted to share my joy with everyone and let you know that if I chime in on a topic, it will now be with a beautiful instrument not far from my side.
