Hello! I'm new to the forum, and new to the mandolin as well!
I was surprised about a month ago when I was gifted a hyburn mandolin. I've never really known much about this instrument, so everything is new to me. I practiced with it at first, but moving and starting university stopped me from playing it for a while (all of my callouses came off :()
The top (4th?) strings sound muted while the rest of them seem to ring more clearly. Is this normal on a mandolin?
Also I was curious if anyone knows anything about Hyburn mandolins? I tried looking them up, but didn't have any luck.
Anyway - here's a pic of the mandolin
