I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I have my Dad's mandolin, left to me in his will. It was made in Devon, it transpires. Dad was pretty formidable at it, and taught me when I was young, but as an adult I have shovel hands (see image above) and find all of those kind of instruments cramped to some degree. I'll likely pass that mando on to one of my own offspring eventually... my girls have their mum's hands (and looks) thankfully!
