Good morning/afternoon/evening chaps. (I hope that's covered all the time zones).
Still kind of in lockdown here in the U.K. Although we can now get out and about, still can't meet with my mates and play and sing-a-long together. So, with the extra spare time I am perusing the ''pre loved'' ad sites and picking up the odd instrument here and there. Just came across a local ad for a Modern style mandolin. Googled tuning one etc. and apparently they can be tuned GCEA like a uke. So, has anyone out there done this? How did it sound and how did it play? Is it easy(ish) for a klutz (me) to adapt? Any feedback welcome, I don't do much finger picking, am happy to strum away in a group and leave the fancy stuff to someone up the front. Thanks in advance, and stay safe.:cheers:
