Ha Ha... I started at 32. Puts me at second or third... Oddly, my playing hasn't improved much in the intervening 6 years. More practice less posting may be in order.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946

I started at 16 or 17 years of age.

I started music at age 11 (middle school band) but the mando came about just after I turned 40. Maybe mando is my mid-life crisis!
Mando Lynn (aka: Tillmanator)
I started around age 11. I wish I'd started earlier! I'm surprised, though, that some started as early as 7, that's pretty rare, especially with mando.
My Instruments:
Ellis Twin Point #524
My beloved Old Wave #83
Herb Taylor Bouzouki #228
Mid-Mo M1 #4321 and M14 #176 (my first mandos)
Scuderi #001 OM Model Guitar
Plus a fiddle, a viola, a cello, another guitar, and (worryingly) three bagpipes.
I started at fifteen, played for about two years, then didn't pick one up until two years ago at twenty-seven.
