This is somewhat terrifying...While I have played guitar for many years, I am suddenly getting the urge to learn to play the mandolin. Upon initial inquiry, I have learned its tuned the mirror image of the lower four strings of the guitar.

The question is this, beside all of the ramifications of adopting a new instrument and subsequent spending frenzy and obsession therein, do any of us play both instruments? If so, did you find it easy to learn but harder to master as you switched instruments back and forth?

Help!
