Just got one. Even more fun than a ukulele.

Doesn't it have seven strings too many?

Mandolin is for girls. Sitar is for the serious players.

A mandolin is musical instrument, a Chinese Language and a type of Orange all at once.

Very versatile piece of kit.

Great for slicing tomatoes

Mandolin is for girls. Citar is for the serious players.

Cigar?

Oh, you mean sitar!

I had sitar lessons once, when I was on my 'hanging out with George Harrison who was hanging out with Ravi Shankar phase'

Playing ragas for hours on end sat on my legs, cramp, numb feet, jacked it in.

That and the Asian scale isn't the same as the Western one (AIUI) with more steps between octaves, hence most of it sounds tuneless to us and why there'll never be a Bob version of the Rolling Stones or even Marillion.

Could have 'The Loving Needful' or 'Steel-eye Pakistan'..

I had my mandolin hand built by Jimmy Moon, wonderful instrument.

Not to mention a senior government official.
