After owning a Gibson F9 mandolin for five years and never playing it, last year I decided to learn the major/minor/7th/9th chords and transfer my fiddle and bluegrass tunes from guitar. Still sawing away at it. The ukes take up a lot of time as well as the lap steel. The banjo is a different story altogether and I need the fiddle bow restrung.
In other news, I restrung the Brondel after a year or more on the same set of strings. Its as if I got a brand new guitar that sounds way better.
