Hello Everyone!
As the title says- I play the violin, but I want to try the mandolin- it just seems fun and different from my usual without being too foreign.
I have my eyes on the Eastman MD304 (oval sound hole since I tend to lean towards classical/celtic music), but am certainly open to other suggestions for a good first mandolin.
Also- do any of you have advice for someone like me coming into this from violin? I sense my left hand will be relatively fine, but my right might be confused .
Lastly- I purchased my last violin via a rent-to-own program- which allowed me to get a fairly expensive instrument in a very affordable way. I can't seem to find any programs like that for mandolins- do any of you know of any such things? I've attempted to find a mandolin shop (I live in the metro area of Atlanta, GA), but the only thing that comes up is Guitar Center -_-....
Thank you so much in advance! Looking through the threads you guys seem like a knowledgable, but also very kind and down to earth group that I'm happy to be part of .
