1. One. A Rigel G-110. Have thought seriously about buying a mandola though.
2. I always liked the sound of it on the indie records I was listening to. Even thought I liked bluegrass until I was corrected that the bluegrass I liked wasn't "real".
3. First mandolin was a Weber Gallatin which I don't own any more. Thought I would keep it when I bought the Rigel, but didn't have time for another mandolin.
4. Indie/singer-songwriter. Mostly at home, but I have busked with it successfully.
5. Peter Buck, Jethro Burns, Avi Avital. No shrine to Bill Monroe. I can imitate the 1st successfully enough, will never be good enough to play like last two. Would really like to play Bach.
