Hey all, just want to introduce myself as I have recently purchased a mandolin and look forward to learning as much as I can from all that contribute to this forum. I have lived all over the place but call Missouri and North Carolina home. Huge Ozark Mountain Daredevils fan and have slowly gotten into bluegrass as well. Music is my passion and all that is important besides my family. I have played guitar for several years and always wanted to pick up the mandolin. Well, found a nice Tacoma M1e for a great price and diving into your world. First lesson went ok...putting new strings on a mandolin, but one of the e strings snapped whilst fine tuning. Not sure why this happened but will look further into it. Looks like the action is a bit high on the Tacoma...thinking the nut might need a little file action but again, need to better understand characteristics of the mandolin and remember that this is not a guitar! Anyway.....look forward to chatting with all of you and remember....Play on!!! Cheers
