Just curious, although, I will probably never do it as the mandolin is enough animal for me but I am told that the fiddle and mandolin are tuned the same. Soooooo, does one have any advantage if he were to have an urge to play the fiddle because he can play the mandolin. I mean, apart from the obvious hurtles of when bow meets strings and controlling all that, etc., but I'm wondering is say 50% (just a figure) of the battle already accomplished because the instruments are tuned the same? --dgg
