    Default Just joined, nice to meet you all.

    Hi everyone, my name is Calv and i've just joined.

    Total beginner here, have been getting stuck into learning the acoustic guitar recently but have always been fascinated with the mandolin and banjo. Love bluegrass but am into pretty much anything that pleases my ears really.

    My mandolin knowledge is zero at present, so i'll just sit in the corner and take it all in. I guess everyone has been influenced by someone, peronaly i enjoy some of the more modern folk musicians like Mumford & Sons, Johnny Flynn and the guy that got me spurred on to get more into it....Jayke Orvis. Young pups i know but hey, i'm only 39 myself.

    Looking forward to getting my first mandolin sometime soon, but need to do much research first.

    Anyway nice to meet you all, hope to see you around the forum.

    Regards,

    Calv.

    Jamie, should have changed it to "Nice to meet ya'll". Little more fitting for bluegrasser speak.

    Welcome Calv to the Cafe, from the "heartland".

    Welcome. (I thought that was you in the corner.) There is a lot to take in. And there is a lot of fun to be had along the way. Enjoy.

    Welcome !

    Hang on for a fun ride.

    As a guitar player of many years - I'm amazed at how much mandolin folk need and want, to know about the details of their instruments.

    A year or so of this forum will probably have you building one from a kit or from scratch. I'm on my third .

    Cheers!

    Welcome Calv. You will find so much good information and fun on this site. When the practicing gets too frustrating take two aspirin and call us in the morning. Have fun, this is a wild and wacky world.....this mandolin world.
