Decent guitarist and mediocre mandolin player here. For some reason the idea of the mandola has caught my attention for a while now. (As if the mandolin wasn't already the road less taken! The mandola seems an almost non-existent journey.)
I don't make hasty purchases, and I'm not ready to buy a mandola: I don't know nearly enough about them yet, though I do like what Big Muddy is making.
Did you add one to your stable and find that you neglected it after a time? (I did this with the octave mandolin already.) Did you get one and it ended up replacing your mandolin? Did you have a hard time playing your favorite mandolin tunes on the mandola? What did you end up mainly using it for? Did you get one of the cheap flowery ones on eBay and regret it? Did you spend a ton on one and regret that?
I would just like to hear about your mandola journey and where it has taken you.
