The comment on mini mando was referring to a "bluegrass chop", a type of rhythm played on the mandolin. Wingledingus is right, there is not much chop in these mini mandos.

Hey Hank, good to hear from you. Yea, that comment on mini mando was referring to a "bluegrass chop", a type of rhythm played on the mandolin. Wingledingus is right, there is not much chop in these mini mandos.

Well, the obvious benefits of investing in a $200-$300 travel mandolin are that you can take it anywhere without worrying about causing harm to your $3,000-plus mandolin and it's very light and small for camping trips, cookouts, beach gatherings, etc.

[TheBanjoPicker]

Nice vid! Your instrument looks similar to the ones I build!

Haha, "portable mandolin" seems kind of redundant, but I get that it's supposed to be the backpacker design.

Sounds nice. But all seriousness aside, it seems to me that a mandolin is small enough as it is!

Very nice playing, I really like those backpacker mandolins! Thanx for sharing, D.
