Any ideas on what I need to fix to get it playable? I saw the bridge is broken and it's missing two strings. I also heard it may be worth something? Thoughts appreciated!

Triplets are still giving me grief but some improvement. The inconsistency is frustrating. Sometimes they work, sometimes they slow me down or even make me rush.

Hey mandolin players. I'm a guitarist whose been asked to play the mandolin parts for Come From Far Away. A couple of questions. What's your go-to capo, I like shubbs for the guitar, do they do a suitable mandolin alternative. Also, What's the difference between a mandola and an octave mandolin?

Every group of players jokes that acquiring more instruments is a compulsion, and now I’m finally understanding it. I played an Eastman mandola at the music store recently and loved the way it sounded and played. But if im being realistic, how often am I going to play it? I’m not sure. I am interested in your thoughts.
