Re: Why did you start playing a cbom?
I got into it because of this forum. I bought the mandolin on a whim and liked it... never even knew there were such instruments as mandola etc. I heard various people on the site here and links to video clips... and I built my first om from a kit from Don Kawalek... Then I ordered the Godin mandolin and a gold tone om came into the store I shop and he had it set aside for me... yup took it as well, then ordered the matching mandola about a month later..
I don't play traditional music... in fact I am doing a solo gig and doing a whole set on the om (the band, alman bros, doobies and such) in a week. I do one set on guitar and the other 2 are different instruments... I don't have enough mandocello to take it yet but open mic next week I am going to take mine just to be different hehe I play rush, ozzy and stuff like that on mandocello
add that I prefer to sing in D, G and C and these instruments are made for me
Kala tenor ukulele, Mandobird, Godin A8, Dobro Mandolin, Gold Tone mandola, Gold Tone OM, S'oarsey mandocello, Gold Tone Irish tenor banjo, Gold Tone M bass, Taylor 214 CE Koa, La Patrie Concert CW, Fender Strat powered by Roland, Yamaha TRBX174 bass, Epiphone ES-339 with GK1
