i've been learning to play the mandolin this year.  adam bought me a beginners one for our anniversary, but my fingers are protesting it.  sooo, we’ve been on the hunt for a nicer one but couldn’t find what i wanted.  then i discovered “kits.” these kids supply all the  pieces to build your own mandolin.   the wood was very rough cut, so there is much cutting, sanding and all around babying of the wood to get it ready to glue.  we’re in that process now…
