Yup, i caved under the pressure of my contemporarys of irish music and veered to the dark side and bought a mandolin. No idea of how to play the thing and the only advantage i have is that its tuned (not that i tune stuff any more now that im a full time muso...) the same as a violin BUT with one pretty major advantage, in most songs we play you can maintain a full verse with left hand pizz which free's up teh right hand for a bit of guinness application to the mouth. I had my first gig on it tonight and twas pretty funny.
