    Re: Any mandolin with a portrait on the pickguard?

    I meant on the original poster's mandriola. I wonder why they built it with the 4 sets of 3 strings, a love of tuning?

    Yes, but if this guy is in his 60's and just wants to enjoy playing Baroque pieces he likes...............why not take a shortcut.

    Poll: Re: How often do you tune your Mandolin?

    I tune after every song. The better your ears get at hearing pitches, the more you will want to tune.

    Re: Arpeggio's

    Arpeggios are the notes that are in the chords, when you strum a G chord you are playing the notes G, B and D. So arpeggios are the building blocks of creating your own solos.

    Re: Does my mandolin sound cheap???
