My nutty neighbor gave me his mandolin (frankly it looks fantastic and is in perfect shape) (never asked for it) but alas he gave it to me. (i guess he assumed i liked bluegrass). Should I even bother with it since I had a sour experience with banjo? (and frankly other musical instruments like piano, and trumpet). ( i tried to tell him i did not need it but he is kinda lonely so i could not push back too hard).

thx

Only you can answer that question...



Give it a try, have fun, don't judge yourself harshly for trying...



If it turns out not to be your thing, un-used mandolins make great fly swatters in the summertime!



They make good canoe paddles also...

Well … mess with it a bit and if it does not suit you pass it on. R/
