Violins, Violas, banjos, and mandolins.

I mean... i maybe pretty stupid but I've spent 12 years learning the violin, and then i go and find out about a year ago that banjos and mandolins are the same strings.... So now it means i can play three instruments.

Does anyone in the uk know where to buy a mandolin from?.. theyre so sweet!

 

i got mine from cardiff, its pretty funkee with a pick up on it

any decent music shop will stock them

mine was about £260 i believe

 

f*k...yes.. this is what i mean though...... i cat afford that! i was wondering if there are any ....[[god wishful thinking] little olde shops that happen to sell very old instruments CHEAP!

 

ah, well that would be a problem, there probally are somewhere, but its gonna be a luck thing of finding them, unless you look online, but i seriously doubt it. a friend of mine once baught a cello for £20 off someone...it was slightly damaged but repairable that was well lucky!

good luck tho

 

cool! well ive said my prayer now...so im hoping its heard!

 

string players. tuh.

 

cuh. bloody wind' O's

 

No really, the number of your sectionals in which I've had to 'sit in'. Infuriating.

 

Banjos have Open G tuning... is that what Fiddles have?

 

No, it's A, but but you can play the tunes with different placements.

.. aww. sax.. you know WHY though right?. the sound of a sax bellowing out is alot stronger and just takes over.

 

Oh yeah, I remember that... you'd just have to adjust everything slightly.. gotcha
