I am sure that these questions have been asked but in searching WAY to many pages the last couple of weeks, I am going to ask.
What is meant by "chop"?
What is MAS, although I imagine that it is a sickness that requires the owning of way to many mandolins, or at least to the spouse or significant other? I had Highland Bagpipe sickness for years and ended up owning over 20 different sets.
I have owned a Peterson III Bouzouki for about nine months and have been having a blast with it. Just bought a Breedlove OO. But I am thinking that a set of pipes will have to be sacrificed for a Peterson Octave. Still haven't told the wife about the Breedlove though.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you've got Mandolin Acquisition Syndrome (MAS) only you didn't know it. Welcome to the Cafe!
