I'm a multi-instrumentalist, as many are here, and lately, I haven't been "feeling" the mandolin. I play a lot of guitar, because it's the instrument I've played the longest and I'm the most comfortable with, and it's what I play(for now, at least) when I do my "solo acoustic celtic folk-punk" gigs(playing both Friday and Saturday next weekend), and lately I've been more passionate about the tenor banjo... I've acquired two new(to me) ones this year, and I've been playing the dickens out of them. I picked up one of my mandos a couple of days ago, and I realized that it has been sitting so long it had gone out of tune. So I checked my other two. One is even less in tune, and the third is sitting with a setup half done. Still need to finish filing the nut.
So, anyway, what do you guys do when you're not "feeling" the mandolin; when the passion isn't there?
