Bought myself a Seagull M4 (merlin) dulcitar thingmajiggy. We'll see if it works out better than guitar. :dance:

My Merlin/M4 is proving to be super fun to noodle around on and way more intuitive than guitar, but it's also kinda making me wish I'd bought a mandolin because learning songs by ear via watching people play on YouTube is incredibly incredibly hard.

With how much I adore the sound of the bottom dual mandolin-type strings on this, I'll probably grab an S8 for my birthday next year.

Not that the Merlin isn't awesome, it's so so easy to just pick it up and throw together a tune out of nothing. Feels like cheating as an instrument, really. I'm trying to learn some jigs and reels now, I feel like that's where this will really shine.

GDGG. I wanted something portable, super simple, and with high novelty factor. So far it delivers on all fronts.

Please refer to my avatar for an excellent mandolin book recommendation.

That is an amazing av/username combo. :allears:
