I'll start. I have recently gotten into 3D printing, and, while incredibly frustrating sometimes, there's nothing more rewarding than getting a perfect print.

I play mandolin, which I think is niche? This summer I've been learning ableton live with the goal of combining edm influences and small, odd instruments.

I'm a fellow mandolin player! Couldn't believe what I just read haha. There isn't typically too many of us making ourselves known in places like this

Me three! I wish there was a mandolin community here

No kidding! Maybe I will look into starting one..

Please do!

Okay I did it! I honestly don't know the right way to link to communities so I hope this works. Let's get it going: !mandolin@lemmy.ca

@cottard@lemmy.world and @ritswd@lemmy.world you're invited too!

Me too!

When my wife offered it to me for my birthday, I hadn’t seen a real one in my life. I already had been playing the guitar and the ukulele (on top of other non-string instruments) for a while, and I said: “I hope it’s not yet another tuning to learn chords from scratch on, a friend tried to teach me the cello’s tuning once and I found it so needlessly confusing”.

Oops… 😂

But it’s all good, I got over it. 🙂
