Ooops - I bought a mandolin!

elisebutt65

How could I resist - only £39.99 on Amazon Cyber deals:rotfl::rotfl:

Now I just need to learn to tune it and ummmm....... play it?:o

So I need to find some cheap books. Do I strum or pluck it? Do I need a plectrum?

At least I'm not a total musical numptie as I do play violin, double bass, piano and bass guitar - lol

So hard can it be???

Blimey! That sounds like a bargain... Unless the seller can't spell and you've just bought one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandoline

Watch for the cheese wire effect on your calluses. And stay with online for a bit. Much cheaper - I'd suggest a chromatic clip on tuner, personally, though.
