Hi there! I know that many of the former members coming back here know each other, but I don't know you very well so I'd love to know some about you! Where you're from, your background of music if you have one, and so on.

Thanks, Jim, yes the mandolin has quite a lot of tension in the strings, but it seems like this is the same problem that he's had in the past too, but it's become worse again - not sure if it's because of work, mandolins or because he's been doing a lot of work around the house. It's likely work-rel...

Thank you! And yes, I hope so too. Sorry about the approval rules, I'm looking through the settings to see where I'll disable it, we probably don't need that for now.

This was our first video on YouTube, earlier this year. It was so much fun! Sadly we can't do much at the moment because my husband is suffering from tendonitis. But hopefully sometime after Christmas.

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the new forum! I'm looking forward to some nice chats here. Please have patience while I learn how to do the admin stuff - I've only played around with it before!
