Is the mandolin your primary instrument or a sideline?
I mainly play guitar to accompany my singing and a tenor banjo for tunes, then comes the mandolin.

Do you perform regularly with others?
I play in 3 sessions every week, but only use the mandolin at one session, where it's used bluegrass-style for percussion effect and little solos or a few tunes, though the music isn't bluegrass, it's a mixture of Irish folk, spirituals and seventies pop/folk.

Are you part of an organized group?
Kinda, with a group of friends do charity gigs, old folk songs, some blues, Bob Dylan, etc. The mandolin fits in nicely with this kind of music.

What type of music do you play?
As above...

What style would you LIKE to be playing?
The kinda stuff Stockton's Wing used to do, but I'm happy with a mixture of Irish tunes and old timey-type songs.

Are you happy with your mandolin?
No, it's not really made for the kind of music I'm playing in the session - very narrow neck and high action. Two friends have Ozarks and they are easier to play and sound great for the kind of music we do, IMO.

What type/style/brand of mandolin do you own? Suzuki round-back, (Hello Kaleea!!) dating from the 70s, that has a sweet sound but is tough to play.

Amplification? Don't use it.
