Thread: Out for delivery....

    Default Out for delivery....

    Yessssss!! Those three magic words that bring such joy!!!!

    After lurking here and reading about various mandolins I decided to buy an Eastman MD-315 from The Podium last week. I spoke with Jeff about the different mandolins and styles and he had 3 of these in stock so I asked him to pick the best one and send to me....

    I can't wait, should have it by the end of the day and now the long weekend to learn how to play it.

    Something vaguely satisfying about one of the good Chinese mandolins getting to stay in China for a while. Congrats, those are very good instruments and I bet it will make you very happy.

    I'm having a little trouble reconciling these two statements. Surely you do know how to play, a little more than a little? I'm confused ... And I know, "Don't call me Shirley!" (Unless of course, that IS your name.)

    Of course, if you meant get familiar with your new baby, well then ... by all means, have at it. And quit wasting your time reading this piffle! Enjoy!
