A friend let me hold his Mandolin a couple of weeks ago at a Bluegrass Jam and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve had a great time learning the major chords and feel comfortable enough to play the back beat in our jam sessions. As there are no music stores locally I decided to give the Mandolin Store a shot at buying my first Mandolin. The folks at the Mandolin store were very helpful in choosing a good starter Mandolin. I ordered on Tuesday and it arrived Friday afternoon just in time for the Jam session. Set up it great and it sounds good when I play it right. This Friday I will leave my guitar home! Patrick
