Hi everyone
I'm pretty new to the mandolin, I've been playing my ortega rma5na for about 4 months now but I'm concerned my action is too high. I've been playing guitar and banjo for twenty years and have experience with stringed instruments but I've never experienced action this high before, is it normal to feel such difficulty in playing due to action when your used to playing other stringed instruments.
I absolutely love the mandolin and I play it every day but I feel completely restricted by the amount of pressure i have to apply to play at speed or double stops and chords
I know this is pretty inexpensive mandolin but I can't afford a new one for a good while and I feel a bit stuck.
Any advice on what might help or whether this is a natural and common issue when a proficent guitar player switches to mandolin?
Id really appreciate any help or tips.
Thanks
Chris
