Shaun, I don't generally make an effort to play the mandola with "mandolin brain". I find it's an exercise in frustration. It seems that I have the best results when I use it like a small-bodied archtop guitar, especially with that 17" scale. Yea, great sounding little beast. Gilchrist describes mandolas as compromise instruments.
