I find mandolin is easier than violin. It has frets, you dont hold it up to yer chin, and there's no bow.

I'll play fiddle one day, but mando is closer to guitar than violin is.

Mando is super easy also just b/c there's no B string like on the guitar. The B string screws everything up. For exaple, on the mando (in 5ths) where u do a riff based on a root, u can do the same riff anywhere on the neck.. based on the root.

Not sure if that makes sense, but I'd say mando is the easiest instrument to play.
