I started learning on a 1920’s Martin a style mando I bought at a local music shop. I have always wanted to learn to play an instrument but never have. We have guitars all over the house since my husband and boys all play. I’ve tried but just was never comfortable for me. Came upon this mandolin and picked it up and felt like “hey this seems like something I can do” 😂 so I bought it. Learning with the help of my husband and son was going well. But I felt like I was struggling. We went to guitar center and I picked up a Washburn f style and fell in love with how it felt and how easy it was for me to play! But it was significantly more expensive than my $100 vintage mando at $599 so I left it and went home to do some research. I wound up landing on this gorgeous Loar 310 (I debated between the 310 and 520 for a couple of days but ultimately the budget made the decision lol). All this to say …. I’m in absolute love with it. It has such beautiful sound and is so easy for me to play! Not to mention it’s pretty. I ordered some items to pretty it up a little for myself so I’m excited to get that stuff. I’m just having fun!
