I have got my Mandolin back from Brian and what a excellent job he has done with it.
I cant put the instrument down.
Mandolins are temperamental instruments,indeed mine was a complete bitch,but not anymore, Thanks RB for recommending this genius of a man. Ironically I always sit down to play guitar, With he Mandolin I find it is much more agreeable to stand up and play.

VT that thread I opened on Mudcat Re Humour and wit Thanks for your comment. Folk are funny I noticed there is not a single negative reply. Well until NOW maybe,

RB re Above . you are not bad at all indeed, I needed to sing up and you made me aware of the fact. Thats good.   If it makes you feel better You did not bellow a typing error on my behalf.
kind regards to all Pierre.
