Re: Looking for a first mandolin
A proper setup on a mandolin is essential. Before taking a chance on a place like eBay, find out if there is a reputable place you can have it setup and how much it would cost. Just assume that you will need to bring it for a professional setup when considering your purchase.
When purchasing from a reputable dealer (the ones that advertise here are all excellent) the setup is included. Mandolins are not inexpensive. If you have a significant other, I'd suggest having someone who has a boat explain the costs in the upkeep. Then when s/he says, "no" to your suggestion for a boat… go for the mandolin.

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.
