Hello fellow mandolinists, I am new to this forum so, if this kind of thread does not belong here, I apologize and I will take no offense if it is moved or deleted.
Anyway, in addition to being new to this forum, I am also new to (or, rather, starting again with) the mandolin. From the time I was 4-years-old to the age of fifteen, I practiced violin. As much as I admire the violin (along with most other instruments I've heard of), playing it seemed like a chore. After eleven years, I wanted to study a different instrument. I finally settled on the mandolin and, two years ago, I purchased a 2011 Ibanez M510E-DVS. It is picture in my profile and avatar. Funny story: I bought it new but at a used price because of a barely noticeable, aesthetic flaw (some fingerprints under the varnish in the back).
I took some lessons but I was not a very good student because I had a lot going on in my life at the time. My teacher retired about six months after I started and I stopped practicing for a while. Recently, I decide to start up again. I hope to learn a lot on this forum.
