Basic question but having an issue counting a single quaver followed by a crotchet.

Another thanks to Rob for the Ebook.
What a great resource.
"The book I've liked most is Mandolin: Complete Edition by Greg Horne and Wayne Fugate. It's three volumes printed together in one big book."
Sheila,
What styles does the book cover- in the Amazon...
Sure others will chime in re set-up.
I am just starting Mandolin (had it about 5 days!) and a useful resource I have found is Mandolessons.com free though you can donate which I will if continue to...
I think the spec is wrong and is for their Mandola. The length in the spec is a whopping 96 cm for instance!
But I have seen the one in Hobgoblin and does have a radiused fretboard and maybe a...
If interested in a portugese APC
Brown dog banjos have the one listed in Hobgoblin for about £50 cheaper...

Have bought a different mandolin but others may be interested on any comments on this Ozark.
FWIW ended up getting the Ashbury.

Many...
Did try a Carvalho in Hobgoblin seemed ok but a little more than want to fork out. Thomann have several budget Portuguese style mandolins but not sure if made by APC.
Still toying with idea of a...
Think this is sound advice (no pun intended).
Could afford a more expensive banjo but want to dabble my feet (or fingers) on a budget model first...just in case it ends up just hanging on the wall!...
Live in London so Eagle Music way out of my way but Hobgoblin within easy reach.
Zach,
Thanks for that. Beginning to think this may be my best/good option for starter/introduction to the mandolin. For one thing will allow me an upgrade route to a more expensive one , for example...
Thanks for the replies so far.
Not too concerned with volume but agree that all solid probably better.
The problem with trying out hobgoblins secondhand mandolins is that they are in different...
I am looking to buy a starter mandolin. I currently play 5 string clawhammer banjo - folk and American roots ( not bluegrass ) and would tend towards this genre with a mandolin ( Also play a bit of...
