I have been a blogger for some years already, mandolincafe member since the late 90s and because I do love to play mandos from time to time I comment on mando related subjects at festivalpo, so now I decided to write something it intrigues myself at this new feature of the mandolincafe...
For many years I have been playing small plectrum instruments plus some woodwinds... and along the way I have been trading , repairing and adquiring instruments to the point that with over two dozen's plectrum instruments I have built a small collection ranging from mandolin, to mandola/bouzoukis and citterns so I should confess I am a mando addict suffering MAS (mandolin adquisition syndrome). These instruments all sound wonderfully different and I use them with alternative tunings and for different music settings like liturgical (every sunday), folk sessions (every tuesday), galician music group (every saturday) and shows and school presentations at anytime... I wonder if anybody at the not working musician mandoworld has ended like me, a geologist paleontologist and MAS musician.
