Mandolin Madness

I have inherited a mandolin and a seven string guitar for the time being, while my brother is away in Brasil. Fear not, sibling. I shall take great care of your beloved instruments. Also, happy birthday to my dear brother! I hope he is well in Brasil (or Brazil, if you prefer).

I love his guitar. It has a wonderful sound, and I like the nylon strings much better. I feel that they are easier to play. I'm also lovin this mandolin (an instrument I have wanted for quite some time). I am currently attempting to play Arcade Fire's "Haiti" on it, but I think I might need finger extensions. (points if you can tell me where the finger extensions bit is from.)

Expect a review soon. I keep saying that, but it really is coming.
