It does matter to me who does the asking.  An experienced mandolin
player who understands and values the instrument, is very different
than someone who has not played much, and does not understand the
value of the item he/she is holding, personal and intrinsic.  I am
honored if someone plays mine who knows what they are doing and are
appreciating and valuing  the mandolin they have in their hands.  Ever
notice how you loan a book to one friend and it comes back in the
condition it left in and another mate drops it in the bathtub, makes
coffee rings on the cover and maybe dog-ears the pages or installs
food stains on the pages.  Sometimes the book is never even returned.
