Title: Mandolin

Hi Dave

I notice that you seem to have been playing the mandolin a lot more recently. How do you find it after the bass?

I don't mean "I moved a plectrum and there it was" either. But it does seem to be going from one extreme to the other. Does it take time for your hands to adjust to the size.

hi Paul. I never really had a prob.sizewise!! I mean adapting from the bass to the mando. I find it more difficult to get used to bouzouki and in fact was doing a bit of practise on baz. yesterday .Chords involve some serious stretches. I am playing more mando and love my "Eastman" and amalso playing more guitar due to the chance of doing the duo gigs with P.J. Wright. I'm really enjoying being a multi instrumentalist again and doing more  stuff in the future. Cheers, Peggy.
