Re: Mandolins "Opening Up"
Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I actually did search the forum as suggested, and found this was quite a hot topic...back in 2011. I assume a few folks have joined since then who might have some thoughts to contribute. Maybe a way to respond to people who want to revisit a well-worn subject would be along the lines of, "In addition to this thread, you might also want to see what folks said back at (link)." If the answer to a question is always "Go read what's already been written," you no longer have a discussion forum, you have a library, which we've had since Alexander.
Back to the topic, in perusing the dusty stacks what I didn't see was an answer to my second question. Has anyone been playing with someone else, and they were the ones to notice your instrument "opening up"? That would add a bit of objectivity to the equation, I would think.
